And Firm is a very handy lad, and can carry out a job pretty fairly, with better brains to stand over him, although it has not pleased the Lord to gift him with sense of machinery, like me. But that is all for the best, no doubt. If Ephraim had too much of brains, he might have contradicted me. And that I could never abide, God knows, from any green young jackanapes."
"He's very polite, but I imagine he's not very brilliant company," his wife averred frankly. "When you wired me you were bringing a guest, I did hope you'd bring some jolly young jackanapes to arouse Kay and me." She sighed and settled back in her comfortable rocking-chair, while Kay, guided by a maid, proceeded to her room.
If Daddy was a young man" "What do you mean, sir? I am young enough for you, sir. Just let me get ahold o' you, sir, and I'll show you, you young rascal! you dem jackanapes!" he ended, almost shrieking with rage, as he shook his fist in the face of his grinning tormentors. The others held him back with much apparent alarm, and ordered the other fellows away.
"Thou'lt do thy level best!" he said in a low, hard tone, and something clashed beneath his cloak like steel on steel. Nick went up the steps behind the screen. It seemed cold in the room; he had not noticed it before. Yet there were sweat-drops upon his forehead. He felt as if he were a jackanapes he had seen once at the Stratford fair, which wore a crimson jerkin and a cap.
At the first opportunity Jackanapes stole away again to the common. This time he saw the Gipsy-father, smoking a dirty pipe. "Lollo is your pony, isn't he?" said Jackanapes. "Yes." "He's a very nice one." "He's a racer." "You don't want to sell him, do you?" "Fifteen pounds," said the Gipsy-father; and Jackanapes sighed and went home again.
A great lie. Burnet, speaking of the progress of his own life, says: The pleasures of sense I did soon nauseate. Swift. Not so soon with the wine of some elections. Opposite to the title-page: Swift. A rude violent party jackanapes. Swift has drawn a finger in the margin of his copy of Burnet's History pointing to this passage. Thomas Burnet.
"At present, however, they do not seem disposed to attack us. We have given them enough to attend to for the present. We killed a good number, and the boats have gone back with the wounded and prisoners." "Then the young jackanapes of an officer may be shut up in prison again," said the king. Scarcely had the order been given when a Spaniard rushed with fierce gestures into the room.
And he wandered away and away With Nature, the dear old Nurse. The Grey Goose remembered quite well the year that Jackanapes began to walk, for it was the year that the speckled hen for the first time in all her motherly life got out of patience when she was sitting.
Tony Johnson had no more natural taste for fighting than for riding, but he was as devoted as ever to Jackanapes, and that was how it came about that Mr. And he added a postscript to the effect that she could have no idea how popular Jackanapes was, nor how splendidly he rode the wonderful red charger whom he had named after his old friend Lollo. "Sound Retire!"
But now, since he saw that the jackanapes had the audacity to love Gertrudis, his feeling became intense. The girl, of course, was fully alive to the situation, and, although she evidently enjoyed it, she did her best to stand between the two men. As for Alfarez, he was quick to feel the sudden fierce hostility he had aroused, and it seemed to make him nervous.
