1 "I knows what I thinks," observed the Jack.
2 "Don't be cheeky, Jack," remonstrated the landlord, in a melancholy and pathetic way.
3 He did this with the air of a Jack who was so right that he could afford to do anything.
4 Without going near it yourself, you could always hear of the safety of Tom, Jack, or Richard, through Mr. Herbert.

7 "I am my own engineer, and my own carpenter, and my own plumber, and my own gardener, and my own Jack of all Trades," said Wemmick, in acknowledging my compliments.
8 A Custum 'Us officer knows what to do with his Buttons," said the Jack, repeating the obnoxious word with the greatest contempt, "when they comes betwixt him and his own light.'
