When he intends to go to a lodging-house,
let it not be with the feeling that he must get whatever he asks for.
When about to go up to the hall (of a house),
he must raise his voice.
When outside the door there are two (pairs of) shoes,
if voices be heard, he enters;
if voices be not heard, he will not enter.
When about to enter the door,
he must keep his eyes cast down.
As he enters, he should (keep his hands raised as high as if he were) bearing the bar of the door.
In looking down or up, he should not turn (his head).
If the door were open, he should leave it open;
if it were shut, he should shut it again.
If there be others (about) to enter after him,
while he (turns to) shut the door, let him not do so hastily.
Let him not tread on the shoes (left outside the door),
nor stride across the mat (in going to take his seat);
but let him hold up his dress, and move hastily to his corner (of the mat).
(When seated), he must be careful in answering or assenting.
