Vermin of the State: Bachelors of the Regency Era — 4 Comments

  1. Wow! I can see a miserly household skimping back on servants in order to keep from paying the taxes. However, in that scene from the ’95 P&P movie of Lady Catherine’s dining room, she had numerous footmen circling the table. For some it would be a status display that ‘hey, I can afford the tax’ and, therefore, can have all these servants. Thanks for sharing this post. I really enjoyed it.
