As is typical of most Midgaard commands, Curtsey searches for <thing> in a specific order, starting with the room you're in, then your worn or wielded equipment, then your inventory. So, if there's a box in the room, and a box in your inventory, the command "curtsey box" will refer to the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use "curtsey 2.box" for the latter.

Curtsey can be modified with an arbitrary word of your choice. Usually you'll use an intensifying adverb as shown in the examples above. Note that Curtsey does not use this modifier as a search specifier when looking for <thing>. Instead Curtsey displays this modifier via the Game channel. Thus you can "curtsey formally", "curtsey facetiously", and so on. You can also "curtsey 18373649" or "curtsey toothpaste-like", so, please don't. It's up to you to get the syntax right.
