The November 5 issue of Country Life magazine is our annual Gentleman's Life special — and as part of it, we invited William Hanson to provide his take on the 39 steps to being a gentleman.

You can read the full list in the latest issue of Country Life magazine, but to whet your appetite we're happy to present this quiz drawing on William's wisdom.

Good luck — and no matter whether you ace it or fall short, remember number 39 on William's list: never take anything too seriously.
