2621. Never lose your temper at cards, and particularly avoid the exhibition of anxiety or vexation at want of success.
2622. If you are playing whist, not only keep your temper, but hold your tongue; any intimation to your partner is decidedly ungentlemanly.
2623. Let presents to a young lady be characterized by taste, not remarkable for intrinsic value.
2624. Except under very decided circumstances, it is both ungentlemanly and dangerous to cut a person: if you wish to rid yourself of any one's society, a cold bow in the street, and particular ceremony in the circles of your mutual acquaintance, is the best mode of conduct to adopt.
2625. Never introduce your own affairs for the amusement of a company; it shows a sad want of mental cultivation, or excessive weakness of intellect.
