Please enjoy the updated Site.
When out and about visiting this Victorian site you will find Victorian Etiquette through out.
Do enjoy the times of long ago....
A little etiquette of the street; Ladies and Gentlemen, when meeting on the sidewalk, should always pass to the right. Should the sidewalk be narrow or dangerous, gentlemen will see that ladies are protected from injury. In the evening, or whenever safety may require, a gentleman should give a lady his arm. It is customary in other cases to do so on the street, unless with an elderly lady, or the couple be husband and wife. A gentleman may take two ladies upon his arms, but under no circumstances should the lady take the arms of two gentlemen. A gentleman will assist a lady over from an omnibus or carriage, without waiting for the formality of an introduction. When the service is thus performed, he will raise his hat, bow, and pass on. When crossing the pavement, the lady should raise her dress with the right hand, a little above the ankle. To raise the dress with both hands is vulgar, and can be excused only when the mud is very deep.
Please use caution when crossing the street to enter my Victorian Manor. There are quite a few carriages out in front.
So do come in and enjoy the era of yesterday.
Enjoy,
