What’s wrong with a little romance? — 10 Comments

  1. How on earth did they communicate using facial expressions if the woman was advised to keep her eyes cast down? 🙂
    I suppose there is the argument for both sides. As the person getting married you would want to choose your own partner but as the parent you would possibly have other thoughts on the matter?
    As long as these were of character and not of a financial nature that could be ok I suppose.
    Intriguing article, thank you Maria.

  2. As the mother of a recently engaged son, I totally get the parents’ point of view!

    Thanks for such an extremely interesting post. Makes one wonder how anything ever got arranged at times.

  3. I too thought of Jane and how Darcy could not tell if she was receptive to Bingley’s attention. She may have taken to heart the advice not to show her interest. Poor Jane. Wow! Indeed, how did they ever get together? I love this post. Thanks for sharing.

  4. Maria,
    Thank you for a delightful post. I often feel my face is too expressive. On my mind—on my face. As lovely as the Regency era was, I am thankful I missed it. I would have been in such trouble!
