Section I
" At no time does
solemnity so possess our souls as when we stand
deserted at the brink of darkness into which our
loved one has gone. And the last place in the world
where we would look for comfort at such a time is in
the seeming artificiality of etiquette; yet it is in
the moment of deepest sorrow that etiquette performs
its most vital and real service. It is the time-worn
servitor Etiquette who draws the shades, who muffles
the bell, who keeps the house quiet, who hushes
voices and footsteps of sudden noises, who decrees
that the last rites be performed smoothly and with
beauty and gravity so the poignancy of grief may in
so far as possible be assuaged."
