** [[JustifiedTrope Justified]]: Author Jean-François de Bastide wrote the work by drawing equally from the genres of architectural treatise and erotic literature, with the implicit goal of instructing readers on the finer points of design and decor as they followed the narrative of Mélite's seduction. When Mélite gasps with delight at the sight of the manicured gardens or swoons at the beauty of a salon filled with the work of world-class artisans, readers are led to conflate the pleasure of romance with the appreciation of the finer things in life.
** [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]]: Mélite, herself no stranger to flirtation, willingly visits the petite maison with determination to resist Trémicour's heavy handed advances. The combined impression of the top-dollar artistry and Trémicour's taste overpower Mélite's chaste nature, so that by the end of the house tour she has fallen head over heels for the notoriously amorous Marquis -- having been convinced by his exquisite taste in interior design (afforded by his privileged social status, education, and most of all his extravagant wealth) that he truly possesses the enlightened soul of an artist and that his passions for her must be genuine.

After a long and hard journey, the idea of soft beds and good food is so welcome that they think of little else, largely forgetting the reason they were traveling in the first place, until Jill gets a dream-vision from Aslan to remind her of their mission. After realizing what's happened, the Puddleglum speculates (correctly, as it turns out) that the Lady was trying, for some reason, to distract them from their mission.
