Of tact and cravats …

… Review: Manly Manners for the Impeccable Gent – by Guy Egmont | The Dabbler.  (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

This is a book that takes you back to a gentler, more innocent, more decent age, when manners counted for something and were never to be forgotten, even in the workplace. Though workplace is far too strong a word for the office environment presented here – a long-lost world of short hours and long lunches, compliant secretaries, strong drink and good cigars, contacts fostered on the golf course or in the gentleman’s club.
