If
you
wish
to
cough,
or
use
your
handkerchief,
rise
from
the
table,
and
leave
the
room.
If
you
have
not
time
to
do
this,
cover
your
mouth,
and
turn
your
head
aside
from
the
table,
and
perform
the
disagreeable
necessity
as
rapidly
and
quietly
as
possible.
Avoid
gesticulation
at
the
table.
Indeed,
a
well-bred
lady
will
never
gesticulate,
but
converse
quietly,
letting
the
expression
and
animation
of
her
features
give
force
to
her
words.
Never,
when
at
the
home
table,
leave
it
until
the
other
members
of
the
family
are
also
ready
to
rise.
CHAPTER
XIV.
CONDUCT
IN
THE
STREET.
A
lady's
conduct
is
never
so
entirely
at
the
mercy
of
critics,
because
never
so
public,
as
when
she
is
in
the
street.
Her
dress,
carriage,
walk,
will
all
be
exposed
to
notice;
every
passer-by
will
look
at
her,
if
it
is
only
for
one
glance;
every
unlady-like
action
will
be
marked;
and
in
no
position
will
a
dignified,
lady-like
deportment
be
more
certain
to
command
respect.
Let
me
start
with
you
upon
your
promenade,
my
friend,
and
I
will
soon
decide
your
place
upon
the
list
of
well-bred
ladies.
