Jacky's from a book series I read as a kid. she dresses up as a boy, makes other boys think they're gay, kisses girls, becomes a pirate, starts a theater, has adventures, becomes a consort to Zheng Yi Sao. I love her.

We tumbles down the stairs where there's a great millin' about of men and I sees huge cauldrons set up at the end of a big room and sailors sittin' about with great gobs of meat on tin plates and they're chompin' away and me mind goes dizzy with the smell and me knees go weak with the thought that I might get some, too. I goes up to the cook what's dealin' out the heavenly meat and just looks at him not knowin' what to say or do and he says, "Where's yer mess kit, boy?" and I says, "I ain't got one, Yer Honor," and he mumbles, "Better git a mess kit, boy," and he reaches over and gets a shingle lyin' by and plops a great hunk of steamin' meat on it as well as a biscuit and says, "Half ration for ship's boys." I says, "Oh, bless you, Sir, bless you," and takes meself off, delirious with joy, and heads for a spot at a table. I gets the biscuit down me neck before I even gets to the bench and as soon as I'm down I attacks the meat, crammin' its loveliness against me lips and chewin' the fat and grindin' the gristle and suckin' up the hot salty juice and swallowin' as fast as I can and if I could have snorted it up me nose to get it down any faster I would have. At last it's done and I licks the shingle and licks my fingers and wipes me mouth on me sleeve and then I licks me sleeve. LORD!

Head high, flags flyin’, that’s the way we does it, but I knows it ain’t gonna wash ’cause I’m half blubberin’ already and I knows that soon’s I steps out they’ll be hollerin’ Hooray, Jacky, and Give ’em Hell, Jackeroe, and yes, Bloody Jack , too, and I’ll see Tink and Davy and Willy and Liam, and they’ll have to pry me off Jaimy whose face I may never see no more— Dear God, please—and I’ll try to be brave but I never was really very brave …
