If there was ever a bigger pansy than my father, it was Marcel Proust.
My father once nearly came to blows with a female dinner guest about whether a particular patch of embroidery was fuchsia or magenta. But the infinite gradations of color in a fine sunset - from salmon to canary to midnight blue - left him wordless.

I grew to resent the way my father treated his furniture like children, and his children like furniture.
