Thank you for this beautiful, detailed comment!! You know how it warms the heart! :-D
I had a bit of a debate with myself about leaving the door open like that, but in the end I thought that had a kind of appeal. I thoroughly endorse your magical realism reading. When a story or film leaves me a choice, that is the direction in which I lean.
I'm thrilled that you liked the interior. I'd just been back to the Sir John Soane's Museum after a few years absence and the size of several of those rooms was what I had in mind and I mixed in a bit of Leighton House (that's the peacock influence) and the location and building size of Linley House in South Kensington. The table I designed, but there were pieces of furniture that inspired me. I had been considering swans as the motif, but felt the Victorian parlour needed a vase of peacock tail feathers to be complete!
