Th’appurtenance of welcome is fashion and ceremony.
Huh. Is what you’re wearing really the demonstration of welcome to someone?
I suppose, when you’re royalty, it totally is.
You put on your ermine for other royalty, your military garb for commanders, your religious toned robes for the pope.
There may well be an outfit for every brand of welcome.
When greeting the peasants, do you dress up or down?
