She said that we could find enough to do minding our p's and q's in life, without quarreling over "i's" and "j's"; so the argument ended, and the girls turned their attention to making tea. They did it charmingly, juggling with the contents of a tea-basket which Starr brought on deck and placed on a little folding-table.
When the action is repeated by J for the tenth time, the difference between J's repetition of it and I's will be due solely to the difference between a recollection of nine past performances by J against only eight by I, and this is so much proportionately less than the difference between a recollection of two performances and of only one, that a less modification of action should be expected.
I returned in the evening to the house, to bring away in a hack cab the things I had left there, with my poor dog's body. In this task I was not disturbed, nor did any incident worth note befall me, except that still, on ascending and descending the stairs, I heard the same footfall in advance. On leaving the house, I went to Mr. J's. He was at home.
That's all. Take the horse. The Three J's mean business, I tell ye. I must be moving." Silver looked up at the little jockey perched aloft upon the brown. "All right?" he asked keenly. The other, whose peaked cap was drawn far over his eyes, nodded down through the tumult, saying no word. At the moment Jaggers ran past, trying to get at his jockey.
Among the allusions to the usage may be mentioned the following entries in the churchwarden's accounts of St. Mary-at-Hill, London, in the reigns of Edward IV. and Henry VII.: "For rose garlondis and woodrolf garlondis on St. Barnabe Daye, xj'd." Barnabe Day, j's. v'd." St. "When St. Barnaby bright smiles night and day, Poor ragged robin blooms in the hay."
All eyes were on the mare, and the great brown horse, in the far corner of the Paddock, was stripped, and his jockey astride, before half a dozen people were aware of his presence. By the time Jaggers and Ikey had observed him, he was on the move. The two J's, Monkey Brand and Joses, crossed toward him, but there was no getting near that tumultuous earth-shaker in brown.
A mug was made to be drained; and Joses had dreamed that to him would fall the draining of this singularly fine specimen of his class. His attachment to the firm of the Three J's, based largely on fear, was not such but that he would break it at any moment could he do so with security and profit.
She it was who made the sails to his boats, and marvelous skate bags. She embroidered the most intricate of straps for his school- books, and once she horrified him completely by working in red cotton, large "J's" on two handkerchiefs.

As a rule, they're not worth a rap for anything except to give the names of merchants in a town and the sort of business they're in, but when I got down to the J's I saw that Jarvis was rated ten to twenty thousand. I stuck the book in my pocket and made straight for where I saw his name over the door. "First thing he boned me about was, 'Well, how's the election going in Illinois and back East?
