About This Book

An intimate domestic episode shows a married couple disputing over a holiday reception, as disagreement about inviting a visiting family lays bare tensions of household authority, social obligation, and gratitude toward a benefactor. They tally guests, seating, musical accompaniment and even a superstition about the number thirteen, mixing practical arrangements with pique and teasing. Close attention to invitations, ceremony and everyday logistics reveals how manners, reciprocal favors and small compromises shape public appearance and private affection in a tight social circle.
