The year 1400 opened with more peacefulness than usual in England. Only a few months before, Richard II, weak, wicked, and treacherous, had been deposed(废黜) ,and Herry IV declared king in his stead. But it was only a seeming peacefulness, lasting for but a little while; for though King Herry proved himself a just and a merciful man -- as justice and mercy went with the men of iron of those days -- and though he did not care to shed blood needlessly, there were many noble families who had been benefited by King Richard during his reign, and who had lost somewhat of their power and prestige from the coming in of the new king.
Among these were a number of great lords who had been degraded from their former titles and estates, from which degradation King Richard had lifted them. They planned to fall upon King Herry and his followers and to massacre(屠杀) them during a great tournament(中世纪的马上比武大会) which was being held at Oxford. And they might have succeeded had not one of their own members betrayed them.
But Herry did not appear at the lists; whereupon, knowing that he had been lodging at Windsor with only a few attend ants, the conspirators marched there against him. In the meantime, the king had been warned of the plot, so that instead of finding him in the royal castle, they discovered through their scouts that he had hurried to London, and that he was marching against them at the head of a considerable army. So nothing was left but flight. One and another, they were all caught and some killed. Those few who found friends faithful and bold enough to afford them shelter dragged those friends down in their own ruin.
Why did the nobles wish to kill Herry？

The code of feminine politeness, instilled in girlhood, is no help in dealing with the unwanted approaches of strange men. Our mothers didn’t teach us to tell a man to get lost; they told us to smile and hint that we' d be just delighted to spend time with the gentleman if we didn’t have other commitments. The man in the Oak Room bar would not be put off by a demure lowering of eyelids; he had to be told, roughly and loudly, that his presence was a nuisance.
Not that I am necessary against men and women picking each other up in pubhc places. In most instances, a small a mourn of sensitivity will tell a woman or a man whether someone is open to approaches.
Mistakes can easily be corrected by the kind of courtesy so many people have abandoned since the "sexual, revolution". One summer evening, I was whiling away a half hour in the outdoor bar of the Stanhope Hotel. I was alone, dressed up, having a drink before going on to meet someone in a restaurant. A man at the next table asked, "If you' re not busy, would you like to have a drink with me？ "I told him I was sorry but I would be leaving shortly. "Excuse me for disturbing you, "he said, turning back to his own drink. Simple courtesy. No insults and no hurt feelings.
One friend suggested that I might have avoided the incident in the Oak Room by going to the Palm Court instead. It’s true that the Palm Court is a traditional meeting place for unaccompanied ladies. But I don’t like violins when I want to talk. And I want to sit in a large, comfortable, leather chair. Why should I have to hide among the potted palms to avoid men who think I' m looking for something else？
What is the author’s attitude towards the traditional instruction of feminine politeness？
