Please explain that in terms that someone in the 19th century would understand.

Oh please, my lord. I meant only that, by early 21st century standards, the aesthetics of your former residence is of dubious influence, but I'm sure it was a portent of masculinity back in the 19th.



Friends? :)

Certainly! These 'mad' emoticons do look rather fierce, don't they? Really, it probably wasn't ever a portent of masculinity. The place probably was a bit "faggy," anyway, but bear in mind that we'd only recently gotten over powdered wigs and ruffles.
 
Bolero

Please explain that in terms that someone in the 19th century would understand.

Ok, let's try this.

Let's pretend that Moll Flanders was a contemporary of Ravel, and that she was given to her most wicked escapades upon hearing Bolero at the concert hall. I imagine that Ravel, though wearied by Bolero's popularity (if indeed this was the case), would be most amused by this. Possibly he might even experience new appreciation for it. Does that help?
