If your lord offers you his cup, rise up, take it with both hands, offer it to no one else, but give it back to him that brought it.
At Noon, when your lord is ready for dinner, some pour water on him, some hold the towel for him till he has finished, and don’t leave till grace is said.
Stand by your lord till he tells you to sit, then keep your knife clean and sharp to cut your food.
Be silent, and tell no nasty stories.
Cut your bread, don’t break it.
Lay a clean trencher before you, and eat your broth with a spoon, don’t sup it up.
Don’t leave your spoon in your dish.
Don’t lean on the table, or dirty the cloth.
Don’t hang your head over your dish, or eat with a full mouth, or pick your nose, teeth, and nails, or stuff your mouth so that you can’t speak.
Wipe your mouth when you drink, and don’t dirty the cup with your hands.
