    QUOTE...TABLE MANNERS FOR CHILDREN

    "Children should come to the table clean and in a merry mood; they should not rest their hands on their trenchers, nor drink more than two or three times during the meal (most drank wine diluted with water or thin beer); and they should wipe their lips with a napkin after each drink, especially if a common drinking-cup is used."
    --- Erasmus (16th Century)
