RULE
VIII.
That
gentlemen
present
do
pay
every
attention
to
ladies,
especially
visitors;
but
such
attention
is
to
be
general,
and
not
particular--for
instance,
no
gentleman
is
to
dance
more
than
three
times
with
one
lady
during
the
evening,
except
in
the
case
of
lovers,
privileged
to
do
odd
things
during
their
temporary
lunacy,
and
also
married
couples,
who
are
expected
to
dance
together
at
least
once
during
the
evening,
and
oftener
if
they
please.
RULE
IX.
That
to
avoid
unnecessary
expense,
the
refreshments
be
limited
to
cold
meat,
sandwiches,
bread,
cheese,
butter,
vegetables,
fruits,
tea,
coffee,
negus,
punch,
malt
liquors,
&c.,
&c.
RULE
X.
That
all
personal
or
face-to-face
laudatory
speeches
(commonly
called
toasts,
or,
as
may
be,
roasts)
be
for
the
future
forbidden,
without
permission
or
inquiry,
for
reasons
following:--That
as
the
family
circle
includes
bachelors
and
spinsters,
and
he,
she,
or
they
may
be
secretly
engaged,
it
will
be
therefore
cruel
to
excite
hopes
that
may
be
disappointed;
and
that
as
some
well-informed
Benedick
of
long
experience
may
after
supper
advise
the
bachelor
to
find
the
way
to
woman's
heart--vice
versa,
some
deep-feeling
wife
or
widow,
by
"pity
moven,"
may,
perhaps,
after
supper
advise
the
spinster
the
other
way,
which,
in
public,
is
an
impropriety
manifestly
to
be
avoided.
RULE
XI.
(suggested
by
a
lady).
That
any
lady,
after
supper,
may
(if
she
please)
ask
any
gentleman
apparently
diffident,
or
requiring
encouragement,
to
dance
with
her,
and
that
no
gentleman
can
of
course
refuse
so
kind
a
request.
