ly d elightful. If w e censed to ta lk over

o th e r we should be dep riv ed of a very

So d o n 't s ta rt o u t w ith th e reso lu

A nd h e re is som ething else th a t Is
difficult to do. D o n 't gossip about
y o u r serv a n ts, especially w hen th is
gossip Is of a d ero g ato ry n a tu re .
In g eneral, do not reg ard a s yours
