Her solution: At first she often hid behind her husband and then she gradually picked up the words and phrases. ii) Another custom: The host and hostess
feel they must see a guest off to the farthest feasible point except those less important or younger visitors. A problem she met with a guest: She tried to discourage the host and hostess from seeing her off but failed. Her conclusion: It’s better to accept the inevitable. 2.
