Etiquette~
 
Guests must...

  • have clean nails or they will disgust their table companions

  • avoid quarreling and making grimaces at other guests

  • not stuff their mouths.  The glutton who eats with haste, if he is addressed, rarely answers

  • not pick their teeth at the table with their knives, straws or sticks  

  • not tell unseemly tales at the table, nor soil the cloth with their knives nor rest their legs upon the table

  • never leave bones upon the table, always hide them under the chairs

  • not wipe greasy fingers of their beards

  • not lean on the tables with their elbows,  nor dip their thumbs in their drinks

  • retain their knives as they will be forced to grub with their fingers
