| Details |
Lady Sybil de Vere: "Do look at those extraordinary people. Their clothes are quite new!" Sir Hugo: "Rotten bad form!"
Members of upper class society, patriotically dressed in old and worn clothes (in line with government advice to avoid extravagant dressing), glance disdainfully at others who are in smart, new ones, while promenading in the park during the First World War.
