Talk:appliance

Interesting citation from Beckford

Which sense is this? (from William Beckford (novelist))

[…] the summer airs […] fanned us as we sat; the fountain bubbled on; the perfume of orange and citron flowers was wafted to us from an orchard not far off: but, in spite of all these soft appliances, we remained silent and abstracted.
