When she finally discovers this, she leaves him. They soon consummate their friendship, with Clementine unaware that Jacky is in fact a girl. The girl, Clementine Jukes, secretly houses and clothes him, and has a not-so-secret crush on him. In Mississippi Jack, Jaimy finds himself naked in front of a girl after being attacked and mugged by a pair of highwaymen, posing as his traveling companions, who had stolen everything he owns and left him for dead. There was a time when Jaimy shunned Jacky before he knew that she was a girl because he thought he was starting to like her and feared he was developing homosexual feelings towards her.ĭuring Under the Jolly Roger, Jacky thought that he had abandoned her for another, prettier girl who turns out to be Jaimy's visiting cousin. He shared a hammock with her for a time on the Dolphin. It was when Jaimy was a ship's boy that he found his true love, Mary 'Jacky' Faber (then disguised as a ship's boy) and spends most of the series either waiting for her or chasing her down so they can finally get married. Throughout the series, Jaimy pursues his naval career while trying to maintain his relationship with Jacky. On the HMS Dolphin, James was given the rank of ship's boy, and is later promoted to Midshipman and Lieutenant. Jaimy was put on a ship when he was fifteen because of a fall in his family's income in the wine industry. James Emerson Fletcher, commonly known throughout the series as Jaimy, is from a first class family in England.
