Random information on the term “Knave”:
A Jack or Knave, in some games referred to as a bower, is a playing card which, in traditional French and English decks, pictures a man in the traditional or historic aristocratic or courtier dress, generally associated with Europe of the 16th or 17th century. The usual rank of a jack is between the ten and the queen.
The earliest predecessor of the knave was the thānī nā’ib (second or under-deputy) in the Mamluk card deck. This was the lowest of the three court cards and like all court cards was depicted through abstract art or calligraphy. When brought over to Italy and Spain, the thānī nā’ib was made into an infantry soldier or page ranking below the knight card. In France, where the card was called the valet, the queen was inserted between the king and knight. The knight was subsequently dropped out of non-Tarot decks leaving the valet directly under the queen. The king-queen-valet format then made its way into England.
As early as the mid-16th century the card was known in England as the knave which originally meant ‘boy or young man’, as its German equivalent, Knabe, still does. In the context of a royal household it meant a male servant without a specific role or skill; not a cook, gardener, coachman, etc. The French word valet means the same thing. Knave became a derogatory word because royal households had so many of these young men who went swaggering around the streets picking fights, molesting girls and generally making nuisances of themselves. It evolved to mean ‘young manservant or henchman’.
Random information on the term “RASCAL”:
Rascal: A Memoir of a Better Era, often referred to as Rascal, is a 1963 children’s book by Sterling North about his childhood in Wisconsin, illustrated by John Schoenherr.
Rascal was published in 1963 by Dutton Children’s Books. The book is a remembrance of a year in the author’s childhood during which he raised a baby raccoon named “Rascal.”
Subtitled “a memoir of a better era”, North’s book is about being young and having a pet raccoon. Rascal chronicles young Sterling’s loving yet distant relationship with his father, dreamer David Willard North, and the aching loss represented by the death of his mother, Elizabeth Nelson North. (The book also touches on young Sterling’s concerns for his older brother Herschel, off fighting in World War I in Europe.) The boy reconnects with society through the unlikely intervention of his pet raccoon, a “ringtailed wonder” charmer. The book begins with the capture of the baby raccoon and follows his growth to a yearling.
The story is also a personal chronicle of the era of change between the (nearly) untouched forest wilderness and agriculture; between the days of the pioneers and the rise of towns; and between horse-drawn transportation and automobiles, among other transitions. The author recounts through the eyes of himself as a boy his observations during expeditions in and around his home town, contrasted with his father’s reminiscences of the time “when Wisconsin was still half wilderness when panthers sometimes looked in through the windows, and the whippoorwills called all night long”, provide a glimpse of the past, as the original subtitle suggests.
