Pritchard leaves the stage next month, I know nobody could play the Countess; nor am I disposed to expose myself to the impertinences of that jackanapes Garrick, who lets nothing appear but his own wretched stuff, or that of creatures still duller, who suffer him to alter their pieces as he pleases.
Harry Jocelyn, you are not the jackanapes you try to make people think you: you understand me. The Countess might accuse him, but Harry never had the ambition to make people think him that: his natural tendency was the reverse: and he objected to the application of the word jackanapes to himself, and was ready to contest the fact of people having that opinion at all.
My uncle bounded as if he had been shot, bounded so incautiously, considering the materials of which one leg was composed, that he would have fallen into a strawberry-bed if I had not caught him by the arm. "Why, you you you young jackanapes!" cried the Captain, shaking me off as soon as he had regained his equilibrium.
Ah! if the particular God who happened to be at the digging of us out of the happier pit of oblivion had only made me a man, I, at least, should neither have been a straitlaced Jackanapes nor yet a prating, callow-bearded wiseacre." "And am I either?" said I, weakly enough. "You are in danger of becoming both," she said, promptly. "Once I saw better things in you.
Behind the stranger pressed his three companions now, whilst the troopers across the room forgot their card-play to watch the altercation that seemed to impend. The foreigner for such, indeed, his French proclaimed him turned half-contemptuously to the host, ignoring Garnache with an air that was studiously offensive. "Jackanapes?" murmured Garnache again, and he, too, turned to the host.

“Now, when you can get that,” he exclaimed, “when you come to the point where I can see from your playing what is in it and at the bottom of it, Heaven and Hell in one stroke of the bow, then, you little jackanapes, I’m going to make you my heiress.” That was precisely what Dorothea had been longing to hear; it confirmed her calculations and crowned her dreams.
Much was I rebuked for that I did not write to warn them of my coming, which was yet the more joyful that they were not warned. And then, indeed, out came all my tale, and they heard of what had been my fortune in Paris, and how the jackanapes had delivered me from durance, whereon never, surely, was any beast of his kind so caressed since our father Adam gave all the creatures their names.
My heart was beating for joy, as it had beaten in the bushment outside Paris town. I opened the outer door secretly, for I knew the trick of it, and I saw from the thin thread of light on the wall of the passage that the chamber door was a little ajar. The jackanapes was now fretting and struggling within my surcoat, so, opening the coat, I put him down by the chamber door.
"Most unreasonable," he muttered "damned unreasonable!" Worse than the ice and the wet in the sleeping-bag, was this lying in such close proximity to a young jackanapes who wouldn't come when you called "Grub!" and wouldn't wait a second till you'd felt about in the dimness for your gun. Hideous to lie so close to a man who snored, and who'd deprived you of your 44 Marlin.
