This week, Clara teaches Sabrina how to mind her manners and show her good breeding with a little help from Florence Hartley’s “The Ladies Book of Etiquette”. While good old Flo’s advice can be just as ridiculous as you’d expect, it’s a fascinating look at all the ways that women both supported and critisized eachother.  So grab your kid gloves and your male escort (and DON’T suck on your parasol, have you not breakfasted!?) And learn all about the trials and tribulations that came with being a proper Victorian lady!
