   Sorry, a bit late today, but there's not much here.   
   Fielding (author of _Tom Jones_ etc.) wrote an early booklet, _Essay on   
   Conversation_, which is advice on how to manifest "good breeding" when   
   taking part in conversation.   
      
   Don't   
   	- talk more than your share   
   	- lose your temper or raise your voice   
   	- boast   
   	- talk a lot about the "mysteries" of a profession   
   		to which most of the company do not belong.   
   		(He thinks lawyers - of which he was one -   
   		are particularly guilty of this.)
