...when six feet away, low from the hips, hands at sides. Move three feet forward, watching King closely. If he extends his hand, bow again before grasping it. Wait for him to speak. Don't make a personal answer or ask questions. Before withdrawing, bow again, retreat backward (having surveyed your course for chairs, wheelbarrows or other obstacles) and bow again before leaving the room...
