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.

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 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.

Belonging to such groups offers more than just historical curiosity—it’s become a badge of…

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.

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 26 - Pre-palatial Newport brings to light a period of quiet charm in Newport, long before it became synonymous with extravagant mansions and social grandeur.
