24、For example, if you think showing up without delay at the time given on the invitation, armed with gifts of wine and roses, _(41)_ your hostess on her cooking, laughing heartily at the hosts jokes and then _(42)_ up to help the hostess will make you the perfect guest, think again.Here Madame Nora Ch
