The consummate gentleman.

Dragonflower says,

When I was little, I was always told to mind my p's and q's. Even before I could read, so thought it had something to do with the vegetable. At dinner I'd be extra nice as I pushed the peas around on my plate. This sounds funny, but it's true.

Haven't heard that expression in a long, long time.

Staraj says,

A compliment from the consummate lady. :-)
