Chapter 24 – The Better Part
Chapter 24 - The Better Part opens with a pointed critique of the narrow, prescriptive path laid out for women in high society. Their lives, though wrapped in luxury, often lack emotional richness and intellectual fulfillment. Within these elite circles, young women are groomed for presentation rather than development, expected to thrive in social routines that offer little room for spontaneity or personal growth. The metaphor of hothouse flowers—delicate, cultivated, and ultimately restricted—captures…-

Chapter 2 – Domestic Despots
Chapter 2 - Domestic Despots explores the strange but familiar reality where dogs, rather than humans, appear to be in charge of the household. Within these homes, the owners are not masters but servants—fetching, feeding, and fussing at the slightest whim of a pawed commander. The dog’s comfort becomes paramount, its presence dictating where one sits, how loudly one speaks, and whether one travels at all. Vacations are shortened or skipped altogether, dinner menus are altered, and furniture becomes…-

Chapter 19 - The Genealogical Craze begins with a sharp reflection on America’s tendency to dive headfirst into trends, especially in the absence of longstanding social structures. When class distinctions are less defined, people search for identity and prestige in ancestry. This has fueled a nationwide obsession with tracing lineage, particularly when it leads to inclusion in elite heritage societies. Belonging to such groups offers more than just historical curiosity—it’s become a badge of…

Chapter 18 – What is “Art”?
Chapter 18 - What is "Art"? opens with the recollection of a young artist's uncertainty in the shadowy world of foreign studios, where the phrase "it's not Art" was often wielded as a conclusive critique. These dismissals, vague yet powerful, cast doubt not only on the work produced but on the very identity of the creator. Among students and teachers alike, confusion reigned, as standards seemed subjective and ever-changing. There was no rulebook, only a chorus of opinions, many of which contradicted each…-

Chapter 17 - Etiquette At Home and Abroad begins by examining a cultural blind spot that many Americans and even some English people share: the undervaluing of politeness in everyday life. Unlike in certain parts of Europe where ceremonial respect is practiced even toward children, American families often neglect small courtesies at home. In St. Petersburg, the Grand Duchess Olga’s upbringing reflects how consistent respect shapes a person’s dignity and presence. The narrator contrasts this with the…
