“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”

Understanding a few simple rules will make a gentleman feel at ease in any company, as a host or guest. Why not make a lasting impression on those a gentleman hosts, or on those who invite him into their function. Knowing the proper actions to take in any situation is not hard when following proper rules of etiquette as a host, a guest, alone or among many.
