So much importance was placed on that "image" of good breeding. Now, I suppose we have different ideals, don't we? Although even now, I never like eating a lot unless I am with people I know really really well--and I've been that way ever since I can remember. So maybe I had some of that "taught" to me as well. Vicky, oh, that's so true! Scarlett, I think, actually had quite a lot in common with our Regency heroines... You're right, Quilt Lady and Susan. There's something to be said for "grazing." (Although I do it and still seem to enjoy my big meals, anyway! Sigh!) I think you’re right, Catherine. So much importance was placed on that “image” of good breeding.

You’re right, Quilt Lady and Susan. There’s something to be said for “grazing.” (Although I do it and still seem to enjoy my big meals, anyway! Sigh!)

I always had a sandwich or soup when lunch came along..raised to do this. Now I prefer cottage cheese/fruit and on a piece of lettcue or tuna salad on crackers. Old habits still carried out I guess. susan L Never considered a light lunch but after reading what you found out I now can put things together.

It seems that everything in that era came about in order to present the idea of good breeding and the like in society. Fascinating.
