The rules of civility

It is not becoming in a person of quality when in the company of ladies to handle them roughly ; to put his hand in their necks or bosoms ; to kiss them by surprise , to force their letters or books from them , to look into their papers etc.

Quoted from "The rules of civility" Anon 1695
