Intrusion into the company of another – when
unexpected or uninvited is one of the modes of annoyance
which effective benevolence would avoid It is the substitution
of your will for the will of another – & in so far is the
assumption of despotism. A purpose – an important purpose
may have to be answered – the intrusion may be justified
by preponderant good – but such a case is exceptional.
You are to take for granted – unless on some general
understanding that your presence is welcome at all times – or
at specified times – you are bound to suppose that if your
company were wished for you would have been advised of
the wish. At all events your intrusion does not give
the person intruded on any choice – it may compel him not
to submit to an annoyance he would not have chosen – or
to inflict on you the annoyance of expulsion. If you have
a wish to see a person, – & the business is not of a
peremptory character – communicate the wish in a way
which may leave him the privilege of a refusal without
giving him pain or you offence.
