I coveted it for years before I got it because it had pages like five-pound notes; I value it now for other reasons. Next the Bible is Q's Anthology of English Verse, its brave leather cover rather impaired by the fact that for two mornings Boggley, having mislaid his strop, has stropped his razor on it. Lastly comes my Shakespeare.
She stuck in her chin and threw out her chest and tried to stride. "That's the Big Boss, all right," Daddy said, laughing. "Guess it's O.K. But mind your p's and q's." "And stick together. Specially in a strange place." Grandma wearily picked up the baby. The Big Boss saw them as soon as they tiptoed into the oyster-house. "Ez," he called, "here's some nice kids. Show 'em around, will you?"
"So that I may quarrel with her, which I certainly should do or, rather, she with me. No, Archie; if you're afraid to go alone, you'd better give it up." "Afraid! I'm not afraid!" "She can't eat you. Remember that with her you needn't stand on your p's and q's, as you would with another woman.
"Mind your p's and q's about them blooming rings and watch that Parminter!"

"There is a witness who has volunteered a statement to the police," said the Coroner. "I understand it is highly important. We had better hear him at this point.
It was now about one o'clock, for this dispute had run away with the best part of the morning, when Sir Hurricane said, "Come, youngster, don't forget your engagements you know I have got to introduce you to my pretty cousins you must mind your P's and Q's with the uncle, for he is a sensible old fellow has read a great deal, and thinks America the first and greatest country in the world."
It is supposed that you can mind your p's and q's, and, as Harriet Byron said of Charles Grandison, in the romance which your great-grandmother knew by heart, "that you can spell well." Observe the advance of the times, dear Stephen. That a gentleman should spell well was the only literary requisition which the accomplished lady of his love made upon him a hundred years ago.
'Flowers are a bit soft, except roses, which have thorns; but when you meet Jasper and Sapphire and Garnet and Opal and Emerald, I can tell you you 'll have to mind your p's and q's. They won't stand any nonsense; they won't endure any silly speeches, but they 'll just go for you hammer and tongs. They 're boys, every one of them and and we 're expecting them any minute.

There won't be any salary in it for the first year, but if you mind your p's and q's, they'll probably give you something as a gift at the end of that time.
Meryon gave a low whistle. "My goodness! I shall have to mind my p's and q's. I don't know that I ought to have lent you 'Julie de Trecoeur' if it comes to that." "Why not?"
