Description
-
Here we see Mrs. Price, Fanny’s mother, Rebecca, the maid, and Betsey, Fanny’s youngest sister, going up the stairs. William had gone to try on his new lieutenant’s uniform which needed alterations that were not done. Mrs. Price and Rebecca both went to defend themselves, each believing the other was supposed to do the alterations. Betsey followed them upstairs. This scene occurs in chapter 38. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Mrs. Price, Rebecca, and Betsey all wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines. Mrs. Price and Rebecca both wear mop caps to cover their hair. The regency period dated to the early nineteenth century (1811-1820) when George, Prince of Wales, later George IV (r. 1820-1830), reigned as regent for his mentally ill father, King George III (r. 1760-1820). The regency period is associated with the rise of neoclassicism in art and fashion.
