Living Skeleton, a penny no, Tony treated me, the Living Skeleton doesn't count. And then the Shooting-gallery man gave me a turn for nothing, because, he said, I was a real gentleman, and spent my money like a man." "So you do, sir, so you do!" cried the General. "Why, sir, you spend it like a prince And now I suppose you've not got a penny in your pocket?" "Yes I have," said Jackanapes.
Merridew, his sense of humor immensely tickled at the sound of this fine word, that rolled off with such an assumption of dignity from those rosy young lips, burst into a great laugh. Yet then and there he said to himself, "That Jackanapes of a boy, to fill her head with this treasonable stuff!
He hardly stands high enough for me. If you can ride him to the other end of the Green, I'll give him to you." How Jackanapes tumbled on to Lollo's back he never knew. He had just gathered up the reins when the Gipsy-father took him by the arm. "If you want to make Lollo go fast, my little gentleman "
There's a French cook, and a French chambermaid, and the friend of the family is a Frenchman. I don't know what I'm eating, and I hardly understand a word that's said at my table.

Now he struck Pratt a heavy blow across the mouth, cutting his lips and making his ears ring. "Shut up, you young jackanapes!" commanded the man. "I'll hurt her and you, too, if I like." "And Captain Dan Rugley won't rest till he sees you well punished if you harm her," mumbled Pratt. Pete struck at him again. Pratt dodged back. And at that moment Frances disappeared!
