We asked a lady, who replied that she thought you could tell a well-mannered person on the way they --71. occupied the space around them - for example, when such a person walks down a street he or she is constantly unaware of --72. others.

Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that looked, to him, very much as a napkin (餐巾） Picking it --78. up, he put it into his collar, so that it falls across his shirt. --79. His Arab host, who , said of nothing, but --80. immediately copied the action of his guest. And that, said this second person, was a fine example of good manners.
, said of nothing, but --80.
