The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness
·

Leave
one
end
of
the
room
entirely
vacant
for
the
readers.
You
will
find
it
more
interesting
to
have
the
readers
stand,
and
use
some
little
motion;
the
words
will
flow
more
easily,
the
expressions
come
more
forcibly
if
the
appropriate
gesture
is
made.
Love
scenes
will,
of
course,
require
delicate
handling,
and
embracing
can
be
easily
omitted;
neither
would
I
recommend
the
action
of
a
dueling
scene,
or
a
murder,
but
merely
to
add
gesture
enough
to
give
interest
to
both
readers
and
audience.
You
will
find
some
little
difficulty
from
bashfulness,
and
the
"don't
like
to"
people
at
first,
but
soon
you
will
discover
with
delight
how
many
of
your
friends
possess
the
talent
for
reading
well,
and
never
knew
it
themselves.
You
will
do
well
to
take
a
few
lessons
in
elocution,
but
you
need
not
fear
to
read
if
you
have
never
made
the
accomplishment
a
study.
With
a
correct
knowledge
of
your
own
language,
and
a
love
for
fine
writing,
you
will
soon
read
well.
Give
to
every
part
you
undertake,
the
full
effect
intended
by
the
writer.
Do
not
throw
all
your
energy,
your
whole
soul,
into
a
leading
part
at
one
time,
and
slight
a
subordinate
character
at
another.
If
you
have
but
five
words
to
read,
read
them
as
they
would
be
spoken
were
you
the
character
you
represent
for
the
time.
To
hear
a
splendidly
written,
tragic
burst
of
passion
read
in
a
weak,
whining
voice,
is
no
worse
than
to
have
a
few
simple
words
from
a
servant's
lips
delivered
with
the
gesture
and
emphasis
suited
to
a
Medea
or
Lady
Macbeth.
