The Secret History, margin note 8, Chapter 5
Les Chats
– When Julian invited Richard for lunch to talk about Bunny (Chapter 5), he served four-course meal with a bottle of ”maddeningly delicious“ wine:
"There was roasted lamb, new potatoes, peas with leeks and fennel; a rich and almost maddeningly delicious bottle of Chateau Latour."
At first I thought that Donna Tartt picked Château Latour for this scene to support the leitmotif of chess, since 'la tour' is not only a tower, but also a rook in French but then I saw this logo that said:
"GRAND VIN DE CHATEAU LATOUR
PREMIER GRAND CRU CLASSÉ PAUILLAC", with a tower and a lion on top of it (Picture 1).
– Considering the way this novel is constructed, there can't be any unintentional details, especially like a random lion on top of a tower.
So, plus one big cat to all that feline fuss in the novel, popping-up out of the air like the Cheshire cat. Or like Henry Winter.
Cats in the novel are a symbol of Dionysian madness, lion in particular is one of Dionysus' sacred animals. And a rook represents relatively straightforward Bunny in this game.
SPOILER!
A lion on a rook appears to be an ominous sign of Bunny's progressing madness and future death.
This wine was "maddening", indeed.

Chapter 6
All housing needs to achieve four objectives in order to be successful:
I. It needs to be socially and culturally valid.
(Here traditional housing possibly works best.)
2. It should be sufficiently economical to ensure that the greatest number can
afford it.
(In primitive and vernacular contexts most, if not all, people have houses.)
3. It should ensure the maintenance of the health of the occupants.
(In relation to climate traditional housing succeeds, in relation to sanitation
and parasites it usually fails.)
4. There should be a minimum of maintenance over the life of the building.
(Here the evidence is equivocal.)
