The hostess says that Miss Francesca is behaving inappropriately and inaccurately, but back then, the lady's companion would have been doing what she could to try to get a husband (just as Miss Francesa is doing now).
I do not like the hostess, but the truth of the matter is that a hostess back then would have been exactly like that. Perhaps even worse. She's playing her part to the T.
I love how the companion girl didn't take it personally, like Victoria did. That girl knew it's a TV show and she's playing a part, and in real life, the old lady probably didn't give a shit about her and that guy.
POOR GIRL, That did'nt look like much of a bath either - she was only in for two seconds b4 she got out & whats the point of wearing the night shirt & knickers? Hows the water ment to get to all the nooks & crannies? I think i'd rather just take my soap (did they have soap??) to the nearest stream than use someones dirty bath water, especially since the person that had used it before her hadn't had a decent wash in a while so it was probably filthy - you'd probably get more privacy too . . .
@MissAshleyJClark as bad as it is for miiss francesca now a days in 1811 things were quite diffrent see she would of been something of a step child or something of distant relation back then and it would of been a positon of honor for her really now adays things are diffrent
@esteff22 yes. This was common practice. The first to gave the bath is the highest ranking person and then it moves down the line to lowest ranking person. In familes, in these times, the same thing was done with siblings. If the there were 10 kids they would share the bath water from oldest to youngest......so gross!
I would personally go for the hermit.

I do find that the woman playing at hostess is enjoying her part far too much. Snobs are always natural bullies.

That parasol was chosen for her and I thought it extremely rude and unbecoming of the hostess to speak through the window.

@MissAshleyJClark I think I'd have just refused to bathe at all. At least you're rolling in your own filth and not someone else's.
