Twenty impolite things list excerpt
A fragment list outlines social offences such as loud laughing talking while others read or speak, leaving a seat, whispering, staring, correcting elders, failing to show gratitude for gifts, interrupting others, and eating before others have finished speaking.

Fragmented rural life and mischief in a jittery era
A garbled tale blends a priggish Country School Miss with romantic yearnings and propriety, then shifts to a rowdy tale of four young bloods on a ride home from a night out. A brash countryman in a wagon deflates bravado with a bold vigilante moment, while Western etiquette anecdotes close the uneven clipping with social satire.
