What is a Gentleman? I guess we could look up the defination in a dictionary or even wade through books on the subject. For me he is first a Man, a real Man, a Man who has integrety, honour, his word is his bond, one who puts duty and loyalty before his own comforts. Usually he has a good sence of chivalary and excelent manners. I used to say when refered to as an Officer and Gentleman, Officer by Government Order, Gentleman by right of birth. Provided that my armes are free and I can get to the door first, I open doors for ladies regardless of station. Depending on circumatances I still kiss the hands of ladies and bow slightly none of these are submissive in any way shape or form, it is just what I do. It is even more importand to me true to myself and beliefs with a slave for she relies on my consistancy in all matters. If she is good enough for me to spoil (eapecially with chocolates and other treats), and enjoy her company and converstaions, she is certainly good enough for me to open doors etc for, be she slave or paid servant. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence! Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and Determination alone are omnipotent! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's all in the game and how you play it!
