Activity “On Saying Please”
Read the extract and complete the activities
given below. 12
This does not mean that the damages are negligible. It
is probable that the lift-man was much more acutely hurt
by what he regarded as a slur upon his social standing
than he would have been if he had a kick on the shins,
for which he could have got a legal redress. The pain
of a kick on the shins soon passes away but the pain of
a wound to our self-respect or our vanity may poison a
whole day. I can imagine that lift-man, denied the relief of
throwing the author of his wound out of the lift, brooding
over the insult by the hour, and visiting his wife in the
evening as the only way of restoring his equilibrium. For
there are few things more catching than bad temper and
bad manners. When Sir Anthony Absolute bullied Captain
Absolute, the latter went out and bullied his man, Fag,
whereupon Fag went out downstairs and kicked the pageboy.
Probably the man who said “Top” to the lift-man
was really only getting back on his employer who had not
said “Good morning” to him because he himself had been
henpecked at breakfast by his wife, to whom the cook
had been insolent because the housemaid had “answered
her back”. We infect the world with our ill-humours.
Bad manners probably do more to poison the stream of
the general life than all the crimes in the calendar. For
one wife who gets a black eye from an otherwise good-natured
husband there are a hundred who live a life of
martyrdom under the shadow of a morose temper. But
all the same the law cannot become the guardian of our
private manners. No Decalogue could cover the vast area
of offences and no court could administer a law which
governed our social civilities, our speech, the tilt of our
eyebrows and all our moods and manners.
