Now observe the last few sentences of this conversation. A very important rule emerges from it. You must never contradict anybody when discussing the weather. Should it hail and snow, should hurricanes uproot the trees from the sides of the road, and should someone remark to you, "Nice day, isn't it?" answer without hesitation, "Isn't it lovely?"
Learn the above conversations by heart. If you are a bit slow in picking things up, learn at least one conversation, it would do wonderfully for any occasion.
If you do not say anything else for the rest of your life, just repeat this conversation, and you still have a fair chance of passing as a remarkably witty man of sharp intellect, keen observation and extremely pleasant manners.
