==Mince's Handbook on Decorum== Used in [[Law]] Practice as a commonly referenced book regarding parties.<ref name="mhd3"/> The text is a refrence point in terms of practice where what the definition of what a practice is is up for debate.<ref name="mhd1">“He was not invited, this can be treated as an act of aggression,” [[Teatime Bogeyman|a bogeyman]] said.<br><br>The bogeymen began to rise from their seats. Mal reminded herself where her makeshift tattoo gun was, even as she saw an administrator raise a hand a bit off the table, to gesture ‘stay’.<br><br>“According to Mince’s Handbook on decorum,” one of the administrators said, “1887, an invitation includes an implicit welcome for any life partners of your guest.”<br><br>“Her minion, and that rule is absent in the ’88 edition.”<br><br>“Addressed in Letters to Polite Patty a year later, and whatever the partnership is called, it fits the standards in chapter three…”<br>[...]<br>“-sets out standards for tiers of partner, and outlines how improper it is for a mere ''beau'' to crash any party-”<br><br>“-of a certain measure of class, if you recall Mince’s handbook, ’87 again, chapter four, where Mince outlines what a party ''is.'' We are outdoors, in casual dress, some of us messy from what we may classify in the exercise and games class. This tea party should be classified as an ''affair'', with all the standards therein.”<br>[...]<br>“The guest is a boor. He arrives in a shabby state of undress, sweaty and greasy,” a bogeyman replied. “Ample excuse to turn him away, Mince’s notes, ’89.”<br><br>“Turn him away ''from the door'', you know as well as we do. We are outdoors, evidently.”<br><br>''Do they? Do we? Is this real?'' [[Mal]] thought.<br><br>“The door in this case is metaphorical. But if you wish to stress the fact we are outdoors, then we can turn to Persimmon’s Rules for Picnics, if you’ll allow.”<br><br>“A classic text on rules and decorum.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2023/03/11 Excerpt] from [[Go for the Throat 23.c]]</ref> Refrencing it can be key in making a good first impression with [[Others]] ground in [[Law]]<ref name="mhd3">'''Mince's Handbook on Decorum, First Edition''' - A text discussing rhetoric and Law, particularly hospitality. Art: There is a good chance that a visiting Other of Law or Rhetoric will, provided they are at least 70 years old, be very pleased to recognize the first edition volume and discuss its contents. At a cost of any discussions taking a good hour longer than it might have, the good first impression and shared understanding affords a reroll of a failed Social roll. - Wildbow on Discord</ref> The text has multiple editions.<ref name="mhd1"/>
