15 Turn not thy Back to any, but place thyself so that none may be behind thee.
16 Read not Books, Letters nor other Writings in Company, unless there be necessity, and thou askest leave.
17 Touch not; nor look upon the Books or Writings of any one, unless the Owner invite or desire thee.
18 Come not near when another reads a Letter or any other Paper.
19 Let thy Countenance be moderately cheerful, neither laughing nor frowning.
20 Laugh not loud, but silently smile upon any Occasion.
21 Stand not before Superiours with thine Hands in thy Pockets; scratch not thy Head, wink not with thine Eyes, but modestly be looking strait before thee.
22 Walking with thy Superiour in the House or Garden, give him the right, or Upper Hand, and Walk not even with him, Cheek by Jole; but a little behind him, yet not so distant as that it shall be troublesome to him to speak to thee, or hard for thee to hear.
