"It is
in the
moment
of
deepest
sorrow
that
etiquette
performs
its most
vital
and real
service.
It is
the
time-worn
servitor
Etiquette
who
draws
the
shades,
who
muffles
the
bell,
who
keeps
the
house
quiet,
who
hushes
voices
and
footsteps
of
sudden
noises,
who
decrees
that the
last
rites be
performed
smoothly
and with
beauty
and
gravity
so the
poignancy
of grief
may in
so far
as
possible
be
assuaged." |
