Etiquette and Well-Bred Edwardians

Out of the 3 Crawley sisters of Downton Abbey, no other but Mary carried themselves with such confidence as she. The rare air of privilege and  feeling of entitlement, simply oozed effortlessly out of every fiber of her being.

A Well Bred Air

It is not merely the etiquette but the tone of good society which should be cultivated by those who are making their way in the world. Ill bred habits of speech, attitudes and tricks of expression will stamp a person, no matter how ceremoniously correct his or her entertainment, how excellent his wine or how irreproachable her costume. – Good Form, Riverside Enterprise, 1911
