Doris:

You shouldn't resist.

And your definition 1 of panache didn't end with the Victorian era.  In 1958
my wife and I, with two small kids, went to England and drove to the Lake
Country.  We stayed in a house run by a very nice English lady.  On the last
day of our stay, nice lady said to us "would you like to see the China room?"
Sure, why not.  "After seeing your children for two days I have concluded they
are not average American kids and therefore won't break anything."  So we saw
the China room.  Our kids were actually quite average American kids, mightily
subdued by the atmosphere of nice lady's house, dining room, sitting room, and
own behavior.  Nice lady oozed the message that "children and meant to be seen
and not heard."
