as you please

as you please
разг.

He smiled at me as cheery as you please, and I dared not stir my lips for fear I would break out into a shivering fit. (J. Conrad, ‘Lord Jim’, ch. V) — Мой друг, как ни в чем не бывало, весело улыбнулся мне, а я не смел разжать губы, боясь, что меня затрясет.

Here was this boy of his, who had been playing with clockwork trains on the floor only the day before yesterday, so to speak, and now he could talk in this strain, as cool as you please... (J. B. Priestley, ‘Angel Pavement’, ch. IX) — Ведь это его сын, его мальчик, который, кажется, вчера еще играл на полу, пуская заводной игрушечный поезд. И вот теперь, в эту тяжелую минуту, он держит себя с таким хладнокровием...

And the story was a good little story; it had all the right elements in it, the good-looking boy, the mysterious beautiful woman, the wild nights at the flat, the last fatal scene, the subsequent revelations and the moral of it all; it was as neat as you please. (J. B. Priestley, ‘Wonder Hero’, ch. II) — Сама по себе эта маленькая трагедия была очень неплоха. Она содержала все необходимые компоненты: молодого человека приятной наружности, таинственную красавицу, безумные ночи в ее доме, заключительную роковую сцену, дальнейшие разоблачения и вытекающую из всего этого мораль, - лучшего и желать нечего.
