I am watching Dark Shadows on DVD (Yeah, yeah, I know--it's a guilty pleasure--I'm reliving my carefree boyhood days.)
Anyway, right now I'm watching the episodes set in 1795. In one scene, a nicely brought up girl goes to her fiancee's rooms unescorted and without a proper chaperone to see her intended.
Mon Dieu! In the late 18th Century, that simply wasn't done. I would think at that time, even if a couple was engaged, a gentleman could only call on his intended at her home, in the presence of another member of the family.
Am I alone here?
Kind Regards,
Chase
