-Let's get a full on Jazz band out here. We'll dance out 'till dawn by the wicker-man, with plenty of alcohol after the main meal in the mansion's hall.
-Invitations go to:
----The current mistress, Svetlana, a gorgeous blonde White emigre who claims to be a countess or something as if that mattered anymore.
----James Winthrop, the young ace you've got handling your personal legal affairs, who knows better than to ask where the bodies are buried.
----Alexander Percy, heir to an earldom, and a bit of hellraiser who comes with his own fashionable Bohemian clique, even if he is a little bent.
----Joseph Bernstein, your ex-manager at Jardine-Metheson, who you want to give a chance to jump ship and join you; as a subordinate, of course.
----Baron von Essling, young aide at the German embassy, because by now everyone is tut-tutting the French intransigence about Versailles.
----Marshall Locke, a professor and economist of increasing renown, worth cultivating despite his enthusiasm for Theosophy and spiritualism.
----Mary Ward, textile heiress and sister of the Prince of Wales' latest mistress.
----Colonel Feng Yuwen, military attache of the Chinese embassy, and totally not the guy you have passing on bribes to the KMT leadership.
----Josephine Parker, American expatriate writer and journalist, her latest "close friend" artist Dorothy Hamilton, and Hamilton's husband John.
------And a small horde of less notable second-sons, black sheep, business contacts, local grandees, and other disaffected privileged types.

Mostly, they're thinly veiled versions of real people or draw on the archetypes of the period.
