Sehen wir einfach mal ins Inhaltsverzeichnis. Das Benehmen hat zwei Teile:<br \/>\n&#8211; Part 1 &#8211; Rites of Passage (von \u201cBirths, Baptisms and Other Ceremonies of Childhood\u201c \u00fcber \u201cEngagement to be Married\u201d und \u201cWeddings\u201d sowie \u201cSeparation and Divorce\u201d bis zu \u201cRemarriage\u201d und \u201cDeaths, Funerals and Memorial Services\u201d)<br \/>\n&#8211; Part 2 &#8211; Social Life. In diesem zweiten Teil finden sich die echten Sahneh\u00e4ppchen &#8211; das ahnen wir schon angesichts des Unterkapitels \u201cThe New Relationship with Domestic Staff\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Aber erst mal zum \u201ePreface\u201c:<br \/>\n<i>Above all, I believe that this book will have succeeded if I show that courtesy and civility are not a matter of snobbery or class (we all know of duchesses who behave disgracefully!).<\/i><br \/>\nImmer noch kein Kichern? Tut mir leid, dann schalten Sie lieber weiter zu David Letterman.<\/p>\n<p>Beim erw\u00e4hnten Part 1 halte ich mich jetzt nicht l\u00e4nger auf. Allerdings finden sich darin endlich mal konkrete Angaben, wie ein Verlobungsring auszusehen hat. Oder wie eine Hochzeitsanzeige in <i>The Times<\/i> oder im <i>Daily Telegraph<\/i> idealerweise getextet ist. Oder wie sich ein m\u00e4nnlicher Hochzeitsgast zu kleiden hat:<br \/>\n<i>&#8230;it is still expected that men will wear a black morning coat (grey is somewhat less acceptable than previously), with striped or checked grey wool trousers and a waistcoat which can be either double- or single-breasted and in a plain or patterned cloth.<\/i><br \/>\n(Klar soweit? Dann also weiter:)<br \/>\n<i>The tie can be old school or regiment, or alternatively in a heavy woven silk. Men usually make mistakes with their shoes, which should be formal black leather lace-ups polished to military perfection, not the Gucci loafers seen at certain types of London weddings.<\/i><br \/>\nEs folgen Details zu Hemd, Manschettenkn\u00f6pfen, Hut, Handschuhen und Knopflochblumen.<\/p>\n<p>Schaun wir also in Part 2, und dort beispielhaft ins Kapitel \u201eThe Country Weekend\u201c.<br \/>\nEs wird eingeleitet:<br \/>\n<i>At its best the country weekend probably represents a peak of Anglo-Saxon culture. At its worst it can be torture beyond compare for all concerned. Country house disaster stories are legion and only go to illustrate what social minefields they are for the unsuspecting <\/i>ing\u00e9nue<i>, unprepared for the idiosyncrasies, eccentricities and arcane customs of British domestic life. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>Im Grunde m\u00f6chte ich am liebsten das ganze Kapitel abtippen, aber ich nehme mich zusammen und beschr\u00e4nke mich auf Hinweise wie:<br \/>\n<i>Remember always to dress in the style of the house you are visiting<\/i><br \/>\noder<br \/>\n<i>It is worth bearing in mind, particularly when staying at very grown-up houses, that your suitcase might be unpacked by someone else.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Im Absatz \u201cCountry Sports\u201d geht es auch um \u201cShooting\u201d, darunter um das korrekte Benehmen, sollte sich ein Unfall ereignen:<br \/>\n<i>Shooting manners expect the guilty gun to leave the party immediately (to save embarassment to the others), and if the mishap is a tragic one, unwritten rules of etiquette expect him never to shoot again. Shooting form also expects the other guns to be deeply discreet about the incident. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>Selbstverst\u00e4ndlich wird auch vom richtigen Benehmen bei der Jagd gesprochen (\u201ehunting\u201c genannt, NIE \u201efox-hunting\u201c). Was, zum Beispiel, tut der geneigte J\u00e4ger, wenn er mit protestierenden Jagdfeinden konfrontiert ist?<br \/>\n<i>Hunt saboteurs, also known as sabs, or antis, are the bane of the sport, and if you hunt, there is a good chance that you will have to deal with them. The approved manner is to treat them like any other member of the public. This is not easy, as their behaviour, which includes such anti-social acts as spitting, hurling abuse, kicking the horse, grabbing its reins, throwing stones at riders, blowing horns to confuse the hounds and spraying citronella to ruin scents, can hardly be described as in any way normal. The simplest and best approach is to ignore them completely and get on with the business of hunting the fox. Alternatively, you can just politely say: \u201cGood morning.\u201d <\/i><\/p>\n<p>Innigste Empfehlung.
