Bringing Down the Colonel: A Sex Scandal of the Gilded Age, and the "Powerless" Woman Who Took On Washington | Patricia Miller

During early Puritan America until the end of the 18th century, “ bundling”, a custom in which couples were “ bundled” separately in cloths & permitted to spend nights together in bed, parental approval was common. It was thought that this practice would create lasting relationships & ultimately marriage.
I am having so@much fun learning about the sexual mores & practices in 17th, 18th & 19th centuries. #NFNovember #TodayILearned #NFN

The Magnolia Palace: A Novel | Fiona Davis

I love all of Fiona‘s historical novels. I had no idea there was a real Frick House in NYC, but this is a fictional exploration of Lillian, a sculptors muse, who accidentally ends up being Helen Frick‘s personal assistant.

kspenmoll We are planning to visit the Frick in the spring. 1mo

Season three, over?
Say it isn‘t so! Rehab time —
withdrawals imminent.

Well somehow, season 3 of The Gilded Age is over. It was so good! Now we gotta wait 2 years for season 4. 😭

The Gilded Age: Overture to the American Century | Alan Axelrod

@jenlovesjt47 - I'm on season 3, episode 3. Had to share a rough haiku because the change in dynamic between these two is hilarious! 🤣

#haikuhive #haikuaday

JenlovesJT47 Ohh how the turn tables!! 😅😅😅 When I tell you, the scream I scrumpt the first time I saw it when Bannister addresses Ada as head of the house 😍😍😍 4mo

lil1inblue @JenlovesJT47 And then when they print Ada's name as the donor and not Agnes' - I nearly peed laughing during that scene. 🤣😍🤣 4mo

JenlovesJT47 Ooh so you‘re just now watching these eps for the first time?! Ohhhh you are in for a treat, season 3 is the best so far imo! Can‘t believe there‘s only one episode left this season 😭 BUT luckily they already got renewed for season 4 🤓 4mo

Cuilin “in reality, they all lived in a kind of hieroglyphic world, where the real thing was never said or done or even thought but only represented by a set of arbitrary signs” I‘m really loving Wharton‘s writing. 4mo

mcctrish Getting strong Agnes Van Rhijn vibes with the hard pass on the dinner party #thegildedage 4mo

Bookwormjillk Bunch of jerks 4mo

dabbe @Cuilin Isn't it absolutely gorgeous? 4mo

lil1inblue @Cuilin I noted this passage, as well! Such a good one! 4mo

lil1inblue @mcctrish Same! 😅 4mo

lil1inblue I share in the eyeroll regarding Archer's reflections! 😅 🙄 😐 4mo

ElizaMarie 🙄🙄 4mo

KAO I love the writing, but oh my goodness—SO many people to try to keep straight! I glazed over through part of this listing of who‘s in and who‘s out and the family heritage of each. 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly @KAO I really tried but I lost track! The whole genealogy thing of defining people by their last name even though obviously half of every couple previously had a different last name is so nonsensical. 4mo

KAO @Clare-Dragonfly Exactly my sentiments! But—onward! Surely this will get sorted out! 4mo
