The napkin stays on your lap the whole time.
If you need to leave the table during the meal, place your napkin on your chair as a signal to your server that you will come back.
Never let the knife, fork or spoon touch the table after you started eating.
Using the knives, forks and spoons
When you take a break from eating, you simply put your knife and fork on the plate.
At a very formal dinner name cards will show you where you should sit.
