I was clueless as well but was going on the idea that perhaps it was written by UTH's mother to Claire and simply couldn't wrap my head around that.
While I may imagine someone taking issue with UTH's manners (he is a man after all

), I can not imagine Claire having bad manners.
The beginning before eating thing has been a little strange for me here. I was raised to wait until everyone is served (and then to say grace) before anyone begins.
Hubby and m-i-l both begin as soon as they get their plate. It used to drive me nuts to see him half finished before I was ready to begin, problem was solved though by serving myself first and letting him help himself. (Side effect of this is fewer leftovers going to waste, forgotten in the fridge.)
