Speak not when others speak; sit not when others stand; speak not when you should hold your peace; walk not when others stop.
Turn not your back to others, especially in speaking; jog not the table or desk on which another reads or writes; lean not on any one.
Be no flatterer; neither play with any one that delights not to be played with.
Read no letters, books, or papers, in company; but when there is a necessity for doing it, you must ask leave. Come not near the books or writings of any one so as to read them, unless desired.
When another speaks, be attentive yourself, and disturb not the audience. If any one hesitates in his words, help him not, nor prompt him, without being desired; interrupt him not, nor answer him till his speech is ended.
Be not curious to know the affairs of others, neither approach to those that speak in private.
Make no show of taking great delight in your victuals; feed not with greediness; lean not on the table; neither find fault with what you eat.
Let your discourses with men of business be short.
Be not immoderate in urging your friend to discover a secret.
Speak not in an unknown tongue in company, but in your own language, and as those of quality do, and not as the vulgar.
