And today in 'romantic scandals from 250 years ago': wealthy young woman elopes from her Westminster home with a lowly footman 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💘 ... there's a novel in there somewhere #18c 🗃️

Who do you think would be the target audience? And who would be the breakout surprise audience?

Do you know who she was? Did they get married? Did they ever get to France?

As long as the footman doesn't sell out and join the gentry like Branson in Downton!

I don't understand the reference to "amours ... cost him 10,000l". Was this another dalliance? How could a footman have incurred such a debt? More detail needed!

I’ve been watching “who do you think you are” on YouTube. And people in the 1800s just up and left almost in every episode so far
