RULES FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR AT HOME.
Never enter the house with your hat on, and always bow to any strangers you may meet at home.
If you pass by your parents at any place, where you see them, either by themselves or with company, always bow to them.
If you wish to speak to your parents, and see them engaged in discourse with company, draw back, and leave your business till afterwards; but if it is really necessary to speak to them, be sure to whisper.
Never speak to your parents without some title of respect, as Sir, Madam, &c.
Dispute not, nor delay to obey your parents’ commands.
Go not out of doors without your parents’ leave, and be sure to return by the limited time.
Never grumble, or show discontent at any thing your parents appoint, speak or do.
If any command or errand is given you to perform, do it with alacrity.
