CLx.x.xIII.
If at another's house you should break anything, do not appear to notice it. Your hostess, if a lady, would take no notice of the calamity, nor say, as is sometimes done by ill-bred persons, "Oh! it is of no consequence."
CLx.x.xIV.
Do not beat the "devil's tattoo," by drumming with your fingers on a table. Never read in an audible whisper; it disturbs those near you.
CLx.x.xV.
You should never take the arms of two gentlemen, one being upon either side.
CLx.x.xVI.
A lady ought not to present herself alone in a library or museum, unless she goes there to study or work as an artist.
CLx.x.xVII.
Perfect order, exquisite neatness and elegance, which easily dispense with being sumptuous, ought to mark the entrance of the house, the furniture, and the dress of the lady.
CLx.x.xVIII.
The most obvious mark of good breeding and good taste is a sensitive regard for the feelings of others.
CLx.x.xIX.
