[Northkeep] the accoutrements of a gentleman

[Cpt. Talbot]

i concur, wholeheartedly! 
i doffed my cap to a teacher who was taking a schoolgroup through the museum i work at, the other day, and one of the students (an eighth grader, no less!) asked why i did that.
needless to say, this led to an EXCELLENT opportunity for a ten minute discussion on manners and morals.
whew. hot button issue, apparently!
