How To Tell If You Are In a Regency Romance Novel



1. You are either a virgin or a sad and lovely widow whose husband was lost at sea. You are spirited, but still passing ladylike.

 2. Your father is away in the colonies protecting his tobacco interests, or a bumbling idiot, or a gambler. His character flaws lead to you becoming betrothed to a man you’ve never met.

 3. Your dance card is filled up with the names of eligible gentlemen who are excessively unattractive.

 4. You have a maiden aunt who despairs of you. You have a gaggle of sisters of marriageable age and they are all silly.
