He turned with an odd look in his eyes that a vainer man than Tony Johnson might have taken for brotherly pride. Then he shook his mop and laughed at him. "Leave you? To save my skin? No, Tony, not to save my soul!" Mr. VALIANT summoned. His will. His last words.
At least I know that I find the young jackanapes there almost every day, bringing a new novel, or some poisonous French poetry, or a basket of flowers, or grapes, with Lady Betty's love to her dear Clara a young rascal with white kids, and his hair curled every morning.
You met this young whippersnapper Jackanapes what's his name this young one-night actor " "Do you mean Mr. Wallace Bannister?" Martis asked with a sort of frightened scorn. Lydia and her mother gasped audibly in the silence. Malcolm moved his eyes slowly from his youngest daughter's face to his wife's, to Lydia's, and back to Martie again.
She's meat for your betters, sir!" rasped the old man, lapsing into the mother tongue, as he did now and then in fear or anger.

Gilbert Stair cursed him roundly for an impertinent jackanapes, and then gave him his answer.
Besides, I have often heard my master say that the discipline practised in public schools was much better than that in private." "You talk like a jackanapes," says Adams, "and so did your master.

Let us but watch, and the chance is that we make that furry gentleman our guide to the upper regions."
A wave of the hand and the secret-service man was gone. Hawke growled: "Damned young jackanapes, I'll fool you, too; but what does old Johnstone want?" He was reading a telegram just received: "Come to meet me at Allahabad. Have brought the drafts. Want you for a few days down here."
Don't let me hear you, ever, under any circumstances, breathe a word of doubt as to that man's loyalty! D'you understand me, sir? You, a mere subaltern, a puppy just out of his 'teens, an insignificant jackanapes with two twelve-pounders in your charge, daring to impute disloyalty to Mahommed Khan! your impudence! Remember this!

"Pardon me, sir, but my name is Tom Mills, not `Jack Napes," said my cheeky chum, with meek subservience; and, turning then to Dobbs, he called out, "a cup of tea, please, steward, with plenty of milk in it."
"I think," said the bank president, straightening up, "that there is sufficient evidence to justify the arrest of this boy Luke." "I have done nothing wrong, sir," said Luke, indignantly. "I am no more of a thief than you are." "Do you mean to insult me, you young jackanapes?" demanded Mr. Duncan, with an angry flush on his face.
