Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Etiquette and Entertaining
Introductions are, Of course, necessary at a dinner-party. The guests have no choice in the matter. If you were sent in to dinner with your bitterest enemy you could not refuse his escort neither could he Object to escorting you. There would have to be a truce during dinner - even if it were'for that occasion only!
Introductions should 'always be made at a dance. Permission is not always asked Of the lady in this instance, as it is assumed that She will be pleased to have partners presented to her. On the other hand, a ballzroom introduc tion does not count for much afterwards - it is quite optional whether the lady recognises the gentleman next time she meets him out. It is more graceful for her to do SO (personally, I think it is rather horrid Of a woman to dance with a man one night and cut him the next), but she is free to drop the acquaintance if she desires to do so.
