Shoes and the indoors

[Frederic Leighton]

[...] soon I'll be travelling with a suitcase of piano books, indoors over-socks, shoe-horns and whips.

That's you & the student sorted out but how about packing some defence against the dog as well?

Please, don't tell me that what I need is an overall in Russian reindeer hide from the Catharina von Flensburg.

Here in Northern California, it is quite common to be asked to remove one's shoes when entering someone's home. We, for instance, provide a selection of hotel-type slippers for our guests and we do let guests know in advance that we are a no-shoe home. Indeed, it's so common here that service people carry shoe-covers with them when making a house call.
