A Gentleman Lady

A textbook page titled "Greetings" containing highlighted text about etiquette, focusing on when to shake hands and various cultural approaches to handshakes in different social contexts. The highlighted text reads:

A GENTLEMAN LADY

A gentleman lady

wearing muddy gardening gloves

A handshake

of

grotesque

strength and warmth

as if

to

a very old friend
