Little things that please me

[avevale_intelligencer]

From Margery Allingham's "Tiger In The Smoke," in which Magersfontein Lugg is trying to drive through an old-fashioned London fog:

"I could do with a spot of p and q in a padded cell meself. That was Marble Arch I was 'ootin' at. I thought she was takin' 'er time."

Makes me laugh every single time.
