So much information being conveyed discreetly! I love the images they suggest! However, I wonder who knew the code,everyone...or just the ladies? It would be an epic fail if the gentleman didn't memorize the code!
There is no way a man could ever remember all those codes. We already have enough trouble remembering that yes means no, but maybe yes, and that no means yes, but maybe not.
Darn. I can't read it on the phone. But the headings did make me think about being spanked by someone wearing gloves, and with a (closed) parasol. Probably awkward, but intriguing.
It always amazes me how we used to act in those days, and how complicated love was back then. I love watching all the period dramas. One of the best is caled "North and South" about a family that move from the south of England up to the hard working North, and the dramas that go there. best on a rainy day while doing the ironing i find lol
This is very interesting... but I would have to carry a cheat sheet! LOL
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot to remember!

Fail, really? I think it is a win. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd this reminds me of Age of Innocence when he takes her glove off in the carriage. It is just a glove, but...

ReplyDeleteThat would be too much to remember, definitely a fail.
ReplyDeleteToo complicated, a fail for sure.

ReplyDeleteI'm torn between win or fail though I don't think I'd be able to remember all those codes and I'm sure the men wouldn't.

Yeah I agree that is a fail!

Is this for real?? Yeeeesh. People would have to study and take tests before their dates! :-)
ReplyDeleteMikki - Me too!
ReplyDeleteSNP - Far too much. No wonder there were so many spinsters.
Ana - Ah, a glove is far more...
Minelle - I wonder if they taught the boys these signals at public school.
Sunny - Far too much for me too.
Joey - I agree.
Bas - Don't forget no means no.
Ronnie - I wonder if these rules were just a local thing.
Julia - You're voting with the majority.
Emen - Ah yes, I wondered who would find a spanking innuendo in there. Bravo!
Erica - They didn't have the interwebs back then, so they would have had plenty of time to learn these rules and play the game.

Hermione, in todays world, for a date, with a mate. It's one two, screw you. Then after intercourse, divorce.
ReplyDeleteHow complicated!! To think your future could be ruined by crushing your gloves in the wrong hand!!! xxx
ReplyDeleteSix - That seems to be the way.
ReplyDeleteDaisy - It was a stressful time to be sure.
Hugs,
Hermione
