"While Grace is saying after Meat, do you and your Brethren take the Chairs from behind the Company, so that when they go to sit again, they may fall backwards, which will make them all merry; but be you so discreet as to hold your Laughter til you get to the Kitchen, and then divert your Fellow-servants."

and

"Never wear Socks when you wait at Meals, on the Account of your own Health, as well as of them who sit at Table; because most Ladies like the Smell of young Mens Toes, so it is a sovereign Remedy against the Vapors."

'Nuff said.
