The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness
·
Florence Hartley
55
The
best
rule
is
to
make
your
guest
feel
that
she
is
heartily
welcome,
and
perfectly
at
home.
When
she
is
ready
to
leave
you,
see
that
her
trunks
are
strapped
in
time
by
the
servants,
have
a
carriage
ready
to
take
her
to
the
station,
have
the
breakfast
or
dinner
at
an
hour
that
will
suit
her,
prepare
a
luncheon
for
her
to
carry,
and
let
some
gentleman
in
the
family
escort
her
to
the
wharf,
check
her
trunks,
and
procure
her
tickets.
If
your
guest
is
in
mourning,
decline
any
invitations
to
parties
or
places
of
amusement
whilst
she
is
with
you.
Show
her
by
such
little
attentions
that
you
sympathize
in
her
recent
affliction,
and
that
the
pleasure
of
her
society,
and
the
love
you
bear
her,
make
such
sacrifices
of
gayety
trifling,
compared
with
the
sweet
duty
of
comforting
her.
