These issues were viewed and handled in different ways during different time periods and in different societies. That makes for an interesting addition to a story's plot line. So yes, include them in Regency or other set books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-61572572351503435342017-01-20T20:24:10.384-05:002017-01-20T20:24:10.384-05:00Connie has picked the commenters as her winners: M...Connie has picked the commenters as her winners: Margaret, Michelle, and Marian, please let us know your emails.
