Scope and content
Typescript essay, in which Beaton considers the formalities of staying with one's friends. A visit will generally reveal one's friends at their most relaxed and informal, although the more remarkable the host's personality, the more surprising the revelations will be. While one's visit will never be restful, it will often be refreshing, instructive, and stimulating.
