It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Where do old money people watch their TVs? The study?
The little b&w in the kitchen.

What if you put a picture frame around it? Classy, no?

The den/family room.

Whenever my family comes to visit me in Chicago, I have to remember that and take them to the appropriate restaurants. Places that aren't too fancy or expensive, or have what they would consider "weird food" on the menu, or anyplace where I'd have to translate the menu for them.
This is totally my family too. Which is frustrating sometimes, because a) many of my favourite restaurants have what they would consider weird food and b) many in my family are very passive aggressive when it comes to eating out: "No, no, let's go wherever you like. I'll eat anything." Followed by: "Oh, I don't like curry." "They won't have weird food there will they?" I don't mind chain restaurants and diners, just tell me what you want to eat!

Wouldn't Old Money people have more than one room with sofas etc, where a tv would be appropriate?
It probably just isn't the most public space in the house.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is TV déclassé? I can see it being so in the '60s and '70s, but....

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Yikes, my family almost always had a small TV in the kitchen, the family TV in the den and no TV in the living room.

Well, in the public living room - you're supposed to be visiting with people.
