Aw, lovely dog, and it must have been something to be a gentleman of leisure...and, look at those buttons on those boots!
I think I've recommended this book to you before, but in case I haven't...you might want to take a peek at _The Birth House_ by Ami McKay. Not only is it impressionistic (I like that term much better than non-linear...) but she treated the story like a scrapbook. The story includes newspaper clippings and invitations and other bibs and bobs of a way of telling the story. It's really effective and might give you some ideas of what else is possible. I have an extra copy, if you would like to give it a home :)
