She continued to entertain, making copious arrangements right down to the menus, the flowers, and the handwritten invitations—but these, "however closely planned, were quietly placed aside" by her servants.
		Astor herself started life, in 1830, amongst the already trembling manses of the Bowling Green; by the time she was a young lady the family lived on Bond Street, and married life took her to Lafayette Place, then 34th Street, then it was up to Fifth and 84th for her last, mad days.
		Astor’s heyday featured incredibly intricate versions of the quadrille; massive, highly disciplined group efforts that required skilled leaders and which, not coincidentally, served as microcosms of just how a proper aristocracy was supposed to be run.
