“Luxury, I think, is the total fulfillment of all five senses at once. Luxury is now. I feel warm; and, if I wish, I can reach out and touch your hand. I smell the sea and, as well, somebody inside the hotel is frying onions. Delicious. I am tasting cold beer, and I can hear the gulls, and water lapping, and the fishing boat’s engine going chug-chug-chug in the most satisfactory way.”
