Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentences from Priestley's “Festival”?
“You couldn’t put on about five thousand, could you?”
“Draw it mild! I wish I could put my hand on five hundred.”
draw it mild = don’t lay it on thick; be more moderate
Thank you for your efforts.
Regards,
V.
