Excerpt from The Unlit Lamp: A Study of Inter-Actions
No use denying that Vincelle was impressed. Ger tainly they didn't do things in this way at home. Jugs of hot water, instead of a chilly and possibly very dis tant bathroom, wood fires instead of hot-air registers and gas logs, flowers in February, instead of potted palms and rubber plants. Moreover, this idea of leaving it to a servant to welcome guests impressed him by its casualness his mother always received visitors with cere mony, as soon as they crossed the threshold. He recog nized here something exotic and rather disturbing; he got up and went over to the bureau, where he could critically regard himself, for he had decided that, after all, he would try to please.
