If
you
do
not
wake
early
enough
for
the
usual
breakfast
hour,
request
the
chambermaid
to
knock
at
your
door
in
time
for
you
to
be
ready
to
go
down
with
the
family.
Before
you
leave
your
room
in
the
morning,
take
the
clothes
off
your
bed,
throw
the
upper
bed
over
the
foot-board,
and
then
open
all
the
windows
(unless
it
storms),
that
room
and
bed
may
be
thoroughly
aired
before
you
sit
there
again.
After
breakfast,
ask
your
hostess
if
you
can
be
of
any
assistance
to
her
in
the
household
duties.
If
she
declines
your
services,
do
not
follow
her
from
room
to
room
whilst
she
is
thus
engaged,
but
take
your
work,
books,
or
music
to
the
sitting
room
or
parlor,
until
your
own
room
is
ready
for
you.
By
thus
proving
that
you
can
occupy
yourself
pleasantly,
while
she
is
away,
you
make
it
less
annoying
to
her
to
feel
the
obligation
to
leave
you.
As
soon
as
you
see
that
she
is
ready
to
sew
and
chat,
leave
your
book,
or,
if
in
your
own
room,
come
to
the
sitting
room,
where
she
is,
and
work
with
her.
It
is
polite
and
kind,
if
you
see
that
she
has
a
large
supply
of
family
sewing,
to
offer
to
assist
her,
but
if
she
positively
declines
your
aid,
then
have
some
work
of
your
own
on
hand,
that
you
may
sew
with
her.
Many
pleasant
mornings
may
be
spent
while
visiting,
by
one
lady
reading
aloud
whilst
the
other
sews,
alternating
the
work.
