Jim is certainly right about the dangers of opening Wilson's book - or 
Playfair's, for that matter.  I *just had a quick look* yesterday morning 
and got drawn into a fascinating world (and that was before I even started 
looking into some of the 19th century American books of etiquette..... ). 
Result: a very, very late lunch.

Playford, actually (that's not cricket, although Playfair is). ;-)
