So this Simple Guide to the currrent 'galateo' and everyday social relations in contemporary Italy will not presume to lecture you on such matters as how to hold your fork in the land of pasta, though admittedly eating spaghetti without getting a chinful of sauce is a challenge if you choose to obey the Italian don'ts (don't cut it up, don't use a spoon).

Quotations
On the Tuesday after Miss Pettigrew's funderal Mr. Conrad Rackley returned to Neely in a rented truck thecab of which he shared with a pair of Masseys who we did not know for Masseys right off but who we recognized as relations on account of a common chinlessness, which is apparently the predominant Massey trait in the West Virginia end of Kentucky. Now the Neely Masseys, and there are eight altogether, are adequately chinful people, but each one of them can catch rainwater in his ears without ever tilting his head.
