of dress; an
harmonious voice, something open and cheerful in the
countenance, but without laughing; a distinct and properly
raised manner of speaking--all these things and many others
are necessary ingredients in the composition of the pleasing
'je ne sais quoi' which everybody feels, though nobody can
describe. Observe carefully, then, what displeases or
pleases you in others, and be persuaded that, in general,
the same thing will please or displease them in you. Having
mentioned laughing, I must particularly warn you against it;
and I could wish that you may often be seen to smile, but
never heard to laugh, while you live." I feel sure that
Cicero would laugh, and was heard to laugh, and yet that he
was always true to the manners of a gentleman.
