The narrative explores the nuances of social class and taste through Lady Le Breton's meticulously curated home. While the decor avoids overt vulgarity, it embodies a conformist aesthetic that lacks true originality. The furnishings reflect a deliberate attempt to challenge conventional middle-class norms, yet they ultimately reveal a superficial adherence to fashionable standards. This tension highlights the struggle between genuine individuality and the pressures of societal expectations in the context of upper-class life.
