If a guest be of lower rank (than his entertainer), he should take up the rice, rise and decline (the honour he is receiving).
The host then rises and refuses to allow the guest (to retire).
After this the guest will resume his seat.
When the host leads on the guests to present an offering (to the father of cookery),
they will begin with the dishes which were first brought in.
Going on from the meat cooked on the bones they will offer of all (the other dishes).
After they have eaten three times,
the host will lead on the guests to take of the sliced meat,
from which they will go on to all the other dishes.
A guest should not rinse his mouth with spirits till the host has gone over all the dishes.
