She even tried to pique him into an exhibition of the "dangerous" symptom, treating him with the caprice and the disdain she dared not have shown but for Emily's repeated assurance she could play as she liked with him and he would never take offence. The mother, Deleah, even little Franky, had to mind their "P's and Q's" with the man who, as he himself had phrased it, "stood at the back of them."
I owe all three of you a dressing down for things that happened at Chatford, and now you'd better mind your P's and Q's if you don't want to be hauled up for housebreaking." With this parting threat the ex-Philistine left the carriage. Mugford, Jack, and Diggory gazed at one another for a moment with anything but a happy look on their faces.
Bessie had left her luggage at the station, and walked to the house which was pointed out to her as Miss McPherson's by a boy who volunteered to show her the way, and who said to her: "She's a queer old cove, and if you don't mind your p's and q's she will take your head off. She's game, she is." This was not very reassuring, and Bessie's heart beat rapidly as she went up the steps to the door.
Wasn't we told by the genl'm'n that gave us a partin' had-dress that we'd never git on in the noo world if we didn't mind our p's and q's? An' here you are as regardless of your v's as if they'd no connection wi' the alphabet."
Uncle Sam was a good old soul, and, seeing that he did not keep the best cash account in the world, Smooth had no objection to entering into the tin business with him, now that he had a large stock on hand. Smooth, however, must make one single proviso, and that is, that he be always permitted to work out the p's and q's of his own demands.
"Why, where are you looking for it?" I asked. She glanced at me, and then at the book. "I I believe," she faltered, "I was looking for it among the p's in the French dictionary." On another occasion I watched her revising a manuscript. As she wrote her emendations she gummed them on over the old copy, and she was so absorbed that at last she put the gum-brush into the ink-bottle.
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?" Hester turned her great, astonished eyes upon him. "One might as well not read Byron as not read that." "Hm I don't suppose you read all Byron." He threw her an audacious look. "As much as I want to," she said, indifferently.
What I meant was, that I think that this world is a very good sort of world, and that a man can get along in it very well if he minds his p's and q's." "But suppose it's a woman?" "Easier still." "And suppose she does not mind her p's and q's?" "Women always do." "Do they? Your knowledge of women goes as far as that, does it? Tell me fairly; do you think you know anything about women?"
From their jurisdiction sprang the proverb that the members returned ought to be without the three P's sine Prece, sine Pretio, sine Poculo. This did not obviate rotten boroughs. In 1293, the Court of Peers in France had still the King of England under their jurisdiction; and Philippe le Bel cited Edward I. to appear before him.
At any rate, he hates navigators, so you'd better mind your P's and Q's, my giddy young friend." "And I haven't corrected my charts for three weeks or written up the compass journal for a month!" Falland wailed. "Oh, Lor!" From all of which it will be understood that the wardroom officers of H.M. Gunboat Puffin were not overjoyed at the advent of their new Captain.
