BBG: What five things are most essential to a romantic home? BMc: 1. Unselfconsciousness. It must be unaware of you; the house looks away. 2. An unexpected occurrence. 3. The play of subtlety and drama and an intoxicating spell. In party language, there is someone to shock and someone to be shocked. Light into darkness. A joke is only as good as its set up. 4. The complacency to weather incident. 5. Utter approachability. A kindly stance, relaxed posture. It is receiving not repelling.
