I saw the spray arise above the plain like a column of smoke… which soon began to make a roaring too tremendous to be mistaken for any cause short of the great falls of the Missouri… I hurried down… to gaze on this sublimely grand specticle.” Lewis sent a man back to tell Clark they were on the right river.

GENTLE READER: Go to the one that did not change dates; the other is a new invitation. Hosts are not allowed to feel aggrieved that someone who accepted an invitation to the Capulet wedding in the morning is not available for what subsequently changed to a funeral in the evening.

GENTLE READER: Like generals, bank robbers and givers of surprise parties, Miss Manners does not always believe that honesty is the best policy. But when the reason is as compelling and understandable as yours, there is no substitute.

GENTLE READER: Stop talking. At least while your colleague is speaking simultaneously. Eventually, Miss Manners assumes, she will realize that you are staring at her silently. If she asks you why, you may say, “You seemed so excited and I didn’t want to talk over you.”

Please send your questions to Miss Manners at her website, www.missmanners.com; to her email, dearmissmanners@gmail.com; or through postal mail to Miss Manners, Andrews McMeel Syndication, 1130 Walnut St., Kansas City, MO 64106.
