Being loyal to those not present is to not talk bad about them when they are not around.
Being loyal to those not present is to say nice things about those that are not around.
Being loyal to those not present is sticking up for others who aren’t around.
Being loyal to those not present is to treat them the same when they are not there as you would when they are present.
Whether someone is present or not you give them the same about of loyalty, respect, courtesy, and friendship.
Praise those that are not present for they will hear all the good things you have said about them. Say bad things about them and they will hear that too.
Master Jonathan Field
