Spunkish

"After Lil Rocker hastily greeted me with a brotherly handshake and his spunkish smile, I quickly inquired as to where he was going in such a rush."

"I do not know whether any of you have seen Mr. Crnwe. He is a thin, middle-sized chap of seven-and-twenty ; dark brown hair, a little frizzley ; face yellowfied by the West Indies ; grey eyes ; large teeth that project outwards like a horse's; spunkish legs, not very straight; and, withal, he has a rather delicate appearance."
