Etiquette

by W. S. Gilbert

Amidst Victorian airs and poised façades, "Etiquette" unfurls a tale where honesty invades. Lord Lavender, a mirthful disruptor of norms, shatters decorum's confines, revealing social swarms. Misconceptions spiral, comedy takes the lead, as Gilbert's pen exposes what politeness would misread. In a whirl of laughter, masquerades unveil, at society's masquerade, truths and facades curtail. A symphony of jests with depth to explore, "Etiquette" serves wit, urging authenticity to soar.
