Downton has made me aware of my serious lack of manners. In an effort to be more courteous
(Seriously who would rather be the rude Thomas over the adored Anna?) I wanted
to know specifically how I could better my manners. I googled etiquette books
and began hitting a dead end. I found many sources saying
Downton was influential on the resurfacing of better manners and
that manners are essential, but few with any specifics of why and how. I headed
to the library and found of copy of Emily Post’s 1926 edition of
Etiquette so I could personally read the
particulars.
