"How delightful it must be to live surrounded by royalty in that way!" "There you're quite out. It's a great bore; one has to mind their p's and q's at court, you know I never go to Windsor if I can help, it." "Well, I should never tire of a court I am thoroughly patrician in my disposition. I have a good right to such tastes, Captain Kockney, for I have a great deal of noble blood in my veins."
Until the feeling can show us which q it points to and knows, by some equally flagrant token, why are we not free to deny that it either points to or knows any one of the REAL q's at all, and to affirm that the word 'resemblance' exhaustively describes its relation to the reality?
Like as not they didn't know charter was for cargo, and they didn't bother their head about that part of it. Some sort of a sneak game about it, of course, but we've got to mind our P's and Q's now. "The owners nor the charter party can't help us none with it now, say I, and as master ye're got to do as ye see fit. All this monkey-business to-night comes from it.
And so the worthy old housekeeper decided that on the whole it would be well to be careful to mind one's P's and Q's as it were, to pause before rushing pell-mell into a flood of unpremeditated speech, and to pay the strictest possible attention to her regular duties.

There is Hannah Straight Tree in my place. She made me talk Dakota and get punished.
I think I will request them to make some addition to the dinner." "No, mamma, if you please, not to put me off so transparently. If I had interrupted, and shouted, and behaved so, you would have packed me off to bed, or somewhere, directly." "Don't say 'packed, love. Dismissed me to bed." "Ah!" cried Julia, "that privileged person is gone, and we must all mind our P's and Q's once more." Mrs.
Friday, April 14 The day of the Chartists passed off with most ridiculous quiet, and the government is stronger than ever. . . .

When people get it into their heads that they are being specially favoured by the Almighty, they had better as a general rule mind their p's and q's, and when they think they see the devil's drift with more special clearness, let them remember that he has had much more experience than they have, and is probably meditating mischief.
"I find that Dame Halliburt is going, and I have no doubt she will take her daughter, as she calls her, with her," he added.
