The honest man -the gentlemanwhen he inadvertently makes an error and thoughtlessly hurts other's feelings, will make the required restitution.

It is no dishonor to apologize for A mistake or to correct an error that was never maliciously intended. Many a sore heart could have been healed and the wound caused by a slip of the tongue cured had the person who caused the wound not been affected by a pride that was as thoughtless and as useless as the action that caused the trouble. To know when to amends is one of the characteristics the true lady and can see farther backwards than forwards," says the sage of Fewclothes Bottoms," but all vision is treacherous at best."
