Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 222
In words applied to the Japanese, They re a wonderful little people, these; Their manners never fail to please When one knows all about em.Your observation will discloseThat they have no feet and they have no toes,But that does nt matter, goodness knows! They do quite well without em. … Among the charms that have won their fame,Politeness has a superior claim;A graceful bow is the laudable aim Of every well-bred native.And so they bow in the manner grand,The manner coy, and the manner bland;They bow in the manner haughty, and The manner dep-re-ca-tive.
