The Land of Good Manners
One cannot move about in Society if one knows not how to comport oneself. The rules of
ettiquette in the Regency were many, and any deviation from these led to the Cut Direct
or another such horror. To prevent this occurance, I would suggest that you consult this
very brief list, but please to keep in mind that it is much abreviated.
Do's
*Curtsy or bow when making new acquaintances, but remember to keep the depth of such a manuveur appropriate to
their social standing.
*Sit with good posture when not affecting an Attitude.
*Be demure.
*Lisp becommingly when at all possible.
*Marry a wealthy mate.
Don't's
*Cut the patronesses of Almacks.
*Laugh loudly.
*Cross your legs.
*Dance more than twice with the same partner.
*Wipe your mouth with the tablecloth.
*Go out unchaperoned.
*Be seen in the same gown at more than one event.
Once again, this list is but brief. Be ever wary!
