The Rules cover a lot including Dont talk with your mouth full and Dont use your dirty knife in the butter. And Do not mansplain at an expert!
One of my favorites is that if someone is talking to you, you stand up too. It just feels respectful.
First, last and 2 in between
----------
1st) Every Action done in Company, ought to be with Some Sign of Respect, to those that are Present."
18th) Read no Letters, Books, or Papers in Company but when there is a Necessity for the doing of it you must ask leave: come not near the Books or Writings of Another so as to read them unless desired or give your opinion of them unask’d also look not nigh when another is writing a Letter."
(Put down the phone!)😆
56th) Associate yourself with Men of good Quality if you Esteem your own Reputation; for ’tis better to be alone than in bad Company."
110th) Labour to keep alive in your Breast that Little Spark of Ce[les]tial fire Called Conscience."
(We keep stamping on crickets)
