"I am sure that you ought to pay a visit to such and such a man. . . .
We cannot avoid asking such and such a man to dinner." XVII. "Come, my son, hold yourself straight: try to acquire good manners! Watch such and such a man! See how he walks! Notice the way in which he dresses." XVIII. When a woman utters the name of a man but twice a day, there is perhaps some uncertainty about her feelings toward him--but if thrice? --Oh! oh! XIX. When a woman goes home with a man who is neither a lawyer nor a minister, to the door of his apartment, she is very imprudent. XX.
