  Only discomposed if she saw Rebecca pass by with a flower in her hat

  In this image Mr. And Mrs. Price walk through the streets at Portsmouth on Sunday after church. Mrs. Price looks at her servant, Rebecca, walking with a flower in her hair. Mrs. Price often complained about the quality of servants in Portsmouth, and she thought seeing Rebecca with a flower in her hair to be improper. Mrs. Price holds Betsey’s hand, and Mr. Price uses his walking stick to keep the young boys in line. This scene occurs in chapter 42. The characters are shown in the traditional regency style. Mrs. Price and Rebecca wear regency style dresses with empire waistlines and bonnets. Mr. Price wears a waistcoat and tailcoat with breeches and a bicorn hat. 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.
