Rh 36 Put not a Bit into thy Mouth until the former be swallowed.

37 Before and after thou drinkest, wipe thy Lips with thy Napkin.

38 Pick not thy Teeth at the Table, unless holding up thy Napkin before thy Mouth with thine other Hand.

39 Drink not until thou hast quite emptied thy Mouth, nor drink often.

40 Frown not nor murmur if there be any Thing at the Table which thy Parents, or Strangers with them, eat of, while thou thyself hast none given thee.

41 As soon as thou shalt be moderately satisfied; or whensoever thy Parents think meet to bid thee, rise up from the Table, though others thy Superiours sit still.

42 When thou risest from the Table, having made a Bow at the Side of the Table where thou sattest, withdraw.

43 When Thanks are to be returned after eating, return to thy Place, and stand reverendly, until it be done; then with a Bow withdraw out of the Room, leaving thy Superiours to themselves, unless thou art bidden to stay.
