Families gathered for early dinners, strolls replaced formal engagements, and…-

Chapter 6 — Modern Architecture
Chapter 6 - Modern Architecture begins with the imagined awe of a traveler first glimpsing New York’s skyline at twilight—a moment filled with wild allure and grand silhouettes. Yet that same skyline, when viewed in the stark light of day, transforms into a display of disjointed ambition and architectural confusion.

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…

Chapter 7 - Worldly Color-Blindness explores the subtle yet destructive effect of social misjudgment in hospitality, using the metaphor of literal color-blindness to reveal the consequences of emotional and cultural dullness. The chapter begins by contrasting physical impairments—like tone-deafness or visual deficiencies—with a far more common but less discussed issue: a lack of social discernment. In music or painting, some can overcome these limitations through technique or sheer will. But in…
