Nancy Blackett's piratical language and phrases include "barbecued billygoats", "galoots", "jib-booms and bobstays", "shiver my timbers" and "mutton-headed galoots". In Winter Holiday while Nancy is quarantined, Peggy was trying to fill her place. She even tried to use Nancy's language, but, somehow, it was not the same thing as when Captain Nancy had been there herself, shivering timbers, talking of jib-booms and bobstays, and keeping everybody busy (WH10). At the end of the book Nancy overhears her and asks What .. Who taught you to shiver timbers? Peggy replies Just while you were away. Nancy acknowledges: Well .. I bet it all helped (WH29).

  • Nancy Blackett's piratical language and phrases include "barbecued billygoats", "galoots", "jib-booms and bobstays", "shiver my timbers" and "mutton-headed galoots". In Winter Holiday while Nancy is quarantined, Peggy was trying to fill her place.

At the end of the book Nancy overhears her and asks What .. Who taught you to shiver timbers? Peggy replies Just while you were away. Nancy acknowledges: Well .. I bet it all helped (WH29). Similarly in The Picts and the Martyrs when Timothy and Nancy go to the foot of the lake looking for the GA: Peggy who, now that Nancy was away, was doing her best to fill her place, put her foot down firmly. "Jibbooms and bobstays", she said in quite the Nancy manner ... (PM25). Nancy also changes her phrases to match the situation. For example in Secret Water she makes up eely swearwords and in Great Northern? her language becomes ornithological.
