Bear with meekness and patience, and without murmuring or sullenness, your parents’ reproofs or corrections, even if it should sometimes happen that they are undeserved.
Never make faces or contortions, nor grimaces, while any one is giving you commands.
Never take another’s chair, if it be vacated for a short time; it is impolite.
Never quarrel with your brothers and sisters, but live in peace and amity.
Use respectful and courteous language towards all the domestics. Never be domineering nor insulting, for it is the mark of an ignorant and purse-proud child.
AT TABLE.
Come not to table without having your hands and face washed, and your hair combed.
Sit not down until your elders are seated. It is unbecoming to take your place first.
Offer not to carve for yourself, or to take anything, even though it be something you much desire.
