Book X 16

1 In bed, he did not lie like a corpse. At home, he did not put on any formal deportment.

2 When he saw any one in a mourning dress, though it might be an acquaintance, he would change countenance; when he saw any one wearing the cap of full dress, or a blind person, though he might be in his undress, he would salute them in a ceremonious manner.

3 To any person in mourning he bowed forward to the crossbar of his carriage; he bowed in the same way to any one bearing the tables of population.

4 When he was at an entertainment where there was an abundance of provisions set before him, he would change countenance and rise up.

5 On a sudden clap of thunder, or a violent wind, he would change countenance.
