Never
anticipate
the
point
or
joke
of
any
anecdote
told
in
your
presence.
If
you
have
heard
the
story
before,
it
may
be
new
to
others,
and
the
narrator
should
always
be
allowed
to
finish
it
in
his
own
words.
To
take
any
sentence
from
the
mouth
of
another
person,
before
he
has
time
to
utter
it,
is
the
height
of
ill-breeding.
Avoid
it
carefully.
Never
use
the
phrases,
"What-d-ye
call
it,"
"Thingummy,"
"What's
his
name,"
or
any
such
substitutes
for
a
proper
name
or
place.
If
you
cannot
recall
the
names
you
wish
to
use,
it
is
better
not
to
tell
the
story
or
incident
connected
with
them.
No
lady
of
high
breeding
will
ever
use
these
substitutes
in
conversation.
Be
careful
always
to
speak
in
a
distinct,
clear
voice;
at
the
same
time
avoid
talking
too
loudly,
there
is
a
happy
medium
between
mumbling
and
screaming.
Strive
to
attain
it.
Overlook
the
deficiencies
of
others
when
conversing
with
them,
as
they
may
be
the
results
of
ignorance,
and
impossible
to
correct.
Never
pain
another
person
by
correcting,
before
others,
a
word
or
phrase
mispronounced
or
ungrammatically
constructed.
If
your
intimacy
will
allow
it,
speak
of
the
fault
upon
another
occasion,
kindly
and
privately,
or
let
it
pass.
Do
not
be
continually
watching
for
faults,
that
you
may
display
your
own
superior
wisdom
in
correcting
them.
Let
modesty
and
kind
feeling
govern
your
conversation,
as
other
rules
of
life.
If,
on
the
other
hand,
your
companion
uses
words
or
expressions
which
you
cannot
understand,
do
not
affect
knowledge,
or
be
ashamed
of
your
ignorance,
but
frankly
ask
for
an
explanation.
