Five Senses In The Hooligan Saloon

A Knight Of Ghosts And Shadows, 1.

In the saloon:

bulkheads are "...nacreous gray..." (p. 342);
benches are padded in maroon velvyl;
the authentic teak table holds Scotch and its accompaniments;
warm, recycled air carries a dance tune and a lilac odor.

Flandry and his son:

see the colors;
feel the padded benches and the warm air;
taste the Scotch;
hear the music;
smell lilac.

It is immediately after this that we are told of Flandry's philosophy of decadence.
