Quotes by Josephine Ross (?)

“The forms of manners which should be scrupulously observed are, invariably, those which contribute to the comfort, or dignity of others.”

“Any references to pregnancy or childbirth are coarse, and should be carefully side-stepped by the truly well-bred, as should intrusive comments on love-affairs.”
― Josephine Ross, Jane Austen's Guide to Good Manners: Compliments, Charades & Horrible Blunders
