When
your
visit
is
over,
give
a
present
to
each
of
the
servants,
varying
its
value,
according
to
the
length
of
your
visit
or
the
services
you
may
have
required.
You
will
add
to
the
pleasure
by
presenting
such
gifts
yourself,
with
a
few
pleasant
words.
Never
compare
the
house
you
may
be
visiting
with
your
own,
or
any
other
you
may
visit.
Avoid
also
speaking
of
any
house
where
you
may
have
been
a
guest
in
terms
of
overpraise,
giving
glowing
pictures
of
its
splendor.
Your
hostess
may
imagine
you
are
drawing
comparisons
unfavorable
to
your
present
residence.
Also
avoid
speaking
unfavorably
of
any
former
visit,
as
your
hostess
will
naturally
conclude
that
her
turn
for
censure
will
come
as
soon
as
your
visit
is
over.
If
any
family
secret
comes
to
your
knowledge
while
you
are
on
a
visit
in
that
family,
remember
the
hospitality
extended
to
you
binds
you
to
the
most
inviolable
secrecy.
It
is
mean,
contemptible,
rude,
and
ill-bred
to
make
your
entertainers
regret
their
hospitality
by
betraying
any
such
confidence;
for
it
is
as
sacred
a
confidence
as
if
you
were
bound
over
to
silence
in
the
most
solemn
manner.
After
paying
a
visit,
you
should
write
to
your
hostess
as
soon
as
you
reach
home
again;
thank
her
in
this
letter
for
her
hospitality,
speak
warmly
of
the
enjoyment
you
have
had
in
your
recent
visit,
and
mention
by
name
every
member
of
the
family,
desiring
to
be
remembered
to
all.
