At 9:00, kissing in public was tabu even between married couples. Even up to the 1960s it was unusual.
Rich people now: PATRICIA!!
Some etiquette "rules" are for hygiene purposes, avoiding cross contamination.
When eating a scone, the same knife should not be used to scoop and spread the cream and the jam!
There should be a separate spoon for the cream and jam.
A small blob of each should be placed on the side of the plate and then a knife should be used for spreading.
In this scene even the amount of cream and jam put on the scone is wrong.
The cream is supposed to be a substitute for butter and thinly spread, followed by a similar layer of jam.
Big faux Pas to have slatherings of jam and cream that could end up all over your chops when biting into the scone.
But, in private that's half the fun eating a well smothered scone!😉
I want that blue dress. It's so lovely. Regency gowns are truly fantastic, and I love them. Too bad they're not casual enough for day-to-day wear...
