They were not presented at court and besides, they were poor. They did not have money for a chaperone and in the country it was not expected. However, the girls usually went out in pairs and therefore opportunities to be alone with a man were rare. In some cases, when the mother hoped for an engagement, the couple would be left alone. Girls were still meant to be 'pure' and so when Lydia Bennet runs away with a man (and is obviously no longer a virgin), it could ruin the whole family, unless she marries and hides her marital activities.

They're often walking or driving together. It's my understanding that this rule wasn't that strict until the Victorian period and that during the Georgian period (which the Regency is) that rules were more relaxed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8386077972421065740.post-56381135910582348122016-11-25T10:23:20.373-05:002016-11-25T10:23:20.373-05:00Thank you for this post.

I also noted on someone's post that a man (my duke) could not sponsor his ward, but his sister could. The Regency Era is one I love so it is good to know my novel will be historically correct. No matter how many books we write, I find that I do not know enough!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913877756936483764noreply@blogger.com
