se semblable. Do not carry a morsel to your mouth, knife in hand, like the rustics. (16.) Moreover, it does not seem well bred to spit out the kernels of prunes, cherries, or anything of the kind, on your plate, but, as already said, they should be decently collected in the left hand (raised to the mouth), and placed on the edge of the plate. (15.) Bones, peel, wine, and the like, should not be thrown under the table. 96th. Its unbecoming to Stoop much to one's Meat Keep your Fingers clean & when foul wipe them on a Corner of your Table Napkin. Chapter viii. 21. Il est messeant de se baisser beaucoup sur son escuelle ou sur la viande, c'est assez de s'encliner vn peu lors que l'on porte le morceau trempe a la bouche, de crainte de se salir, & puis redresser la teste. 25. Ne vous nettoyez pas les mains a vostre pain, s'il est entier; toutesfois les ayant fort grasses, il semble que vous les puissiez nettoyer premierement a vn morceau de pain que vous ayez a manger tout a l'heure & puis a la seruiette, afin de ne la point tant salir: ce qui vous arriuera rarement, si vous scauez vous seruir de la cuilliere, & de la fourchette, selon le style des plus honnestes. Beaucoup moins deuez vous lecher les doigts, principalement les succant auec grand bruit. It is ill-bred to stoop too close to one's porringer or the meat. It suffices to bend a little when conveying a soaked morsel to one's mouth, in order to avoid soiling oneself, then straighten up again. (25.) Do not clean your hands on a loaf; if very greasy you might, it would seem, partly clean them on a bit of bread you are about to eat, then on your napkin, so as not to soil the latter too much: this will rarely happen if you know how to use spoon and fork in the most approved manner. Much less should you lick your fingers, especially not suck them noisily. [9]7th. Put not another bit into your Mouth till the former be Swallowed let not your Morsels be too big for the jowls Chapter viii. 30. Ne portez pas le morceau a la bouche que l'autre ne soil aualle, & que tous soient tels qu'ils ne fassent pas enfler les joues hors de mesure; ne vous seruez pas des deux mains pour vous mettre le morceau a la bouche, mais seruez vous d'ordinaire de la droite. Carry not another morsel to the mouth
