"Manners: A Timeless Elegance from Pynes House to Craven Lodge Fancy Ball" Step back in time to the refined world of Pynes House, Exeter, Devon, 1825. The Marquess and Marchioness of Anglesey set the standard for impeccable manners that would resonate through generations. In a bygone era captured on a vintage poster titled "Books, c1938. This Breaks the Back of a Book. ", proper etiquette was promoted as an essential virtue. It reminds us that good they can not just about rules but also about respect and consideration for others. The First Day of Holidays brings joy and excitement, where Lady Diana Manners by John Sargent exemplifies grace and poise. Alongside her sisters Marjorie and Violet Manners, they epitomize elegance in every gesture. Yet even amidst grandeur, there can be unexpected encounters. A man and ghost cross paths; their interaction reminding us that politeness transcends realms beyond our own. "The Jewel Box" captures delicate beauty with pencil and watercolor on paper—a metaphor for how good manners enhance life's precious moments. Just as each gem sparkles within its box, courtesy adds brilliance to our interactions with others. From the enchanting production of Gounod's Faust by Carl Rosa Opera Company to Laurette Taylor and Michael's captivating performances—manners play an integral role in fostering harmony among artists on stage or offstage. The Wedding of Lady Diana Manner and Duff Cooper showcases a union steeped in tradition where decorum reigns supreme. Their nuptials serve as a reminder that politeness is timeless; it weaves together families while honoring customs passed down through generations. And finally, we arrive at the Craven Lodge Fancy Ball—an event where society gathers adorned in extravagant attire yet bound by unwritten rules of conduct. Here, manners become more than mere pleasantries; they create an atmosphere of respect and camaraderie.
