How to End a Conversation Politely
Tip #3. EXCUSE YOURSELF
It’s important to remember that your time belongs to you, not whoever (кто бы ни) happens to be dominating a conversation with you. Jennifer L. Scott, New York Times bestselling author of ‘Lessons from Madame Chic’, suggests that you seize (ухватиться за, воспользоваться) a momentary lull (пауза, передышка) in the conversation to excuse yourself. Use the refreshment table, the restroom, or the need to speak to the host/ hostess as a reason, if you feel you need to supply one. Just make sure that after you leave the person, you actually go do the thing you excused yourself to do.
