extremely bad manners to shake hands twice, as though one had not taken enough
43
for the first time.
It is still the
44

becau the French are too
45 . It is becau they e acknowledging(注意) the existence of others as a way of
46 being rude. This may em unbearably slight to others, but to the French it is most important. Manners mean civilization to
them.

of French life as others suppod. But when it does take place, it must be done
48 , according to the rules. The
49 order is left cheek, right cheek, left cheek---very formal, very stylized. In Paris four
kiss are sometimes permitted: left, right, left, right. 41．BC 42．B 43．BD
