Grâce à leurs relations dans la société anglophone de Québec et grâce à leurs voyages annuels en Angleterre et en Europe, Adèle et Mary Stuart se tiennent au fait des différentes modes britanniques. Pour elles, ces liens avec l'étranger favorisent grandement le maintien d'une identité étroitement liée à la mère patrie. Qu'il s'agisse de cuisine, de décoration ou d'occupations, à la maison Henry-Stuart, on n'est jamais très loin de l'Angleterre et des différentes régions de son Empire.
