Maury gave them an elaborate “drinking set,” which included silver goblets, cocktail-shaker, and bottle-openers. The extortion from Dick was more conventional—a tea-set from Tiffany’s. From Joseph Bloeckman came a simple and exquisite travelling clock, with his card. There was even a cigarette-holder from Bounds; this touched Anthony and made him want to weep—indeed, any emotion short of hysteria seemed natural in the half-dozen people who were swept up by this tremendous sacrifice to convention.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Founded in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany and Teddy Young as Stationery and Fancy Goods Emporium, it began as a stationery and luxury-goods shop in Lower Manhattan. In 1853, Charles Tiffany took control and shifted the business toward jewellery. The firm adopted the name Tiffany & Co. and began its international expansion. In the 1920s, its main headquarters was the large store at Fifth Avenue and 37th Street, which served as the brand’s emblem in the city until the later move to the new Fifth Avenue flagship in 1940.
