"Don't make a fuss. Drawing undue attention is rude. A very brief apology is all that is necessary as you offer your hand to help her stand," Professor Branxton explained. He then took off his glasses and massaged the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger. Once everyone was seated again he sighed, cleaned his glasses, and began to lecture once more.

"And now, we will review table manners. Do not slouch. Do not lean back in your chair. Do not put your elbows on the table. Do not shout down the table. Do not loosen your tie," he listed off the top five "do not"s an then paused. "I know that is quite a few do nots. Can anyone tell me what you are supposed to do?"
