Book Excerpts:
To
introduce persons who are mutually
unknown is to undertake a
serious responsibility, and to
certify to each the respectability
of
the other.
Never
undertake this responsibility
without in the first place asking
yourself whether the persons are
likely to be agreeable to each other;
nor, in the second place, without
ascertaining whether it will be
acceptable to both parties to become
acquainted.
Always introduce the gentleman to
the lady--never the lady to
the gentleman. The chivalry of
etiquette assumes that the lady is
invariably the superior in right of
her sex, and that the gentleman
is honored in the introduction.
This rule
is to be observed even when the
social rank of the gentleman is
higher than that of the lady.
Never present a gentleman to a
lady without first asking her
permission to do so.
If you are walking with one
friend, and presently meet with, or
are joined by, a third, do not
commit the too frequent error of
introducing them to each other.
You have even
less right to do so than if they
encountered each other at your house
during a morning call.
There are some exceptions to the
etiquette of introductions. At a
ball, or evening party where there
is dancing, the mistress of the
house may introduce any gentleman to
any lady without first asking the
lady's permission.
But she
should first ascertain whether the
lady is willing to dance; and
this out of consideration for the
gentleman, who may otherwise be
refused. No man likes to be refused
the hand of a lady, though it be
only for a quadrille.
