Just a glance could be construed as courtship, and heaven forbid a lady be in the room with a man other than her immediate family, let alone touch her!

I am curious what romance looked like back then -- like, what things seemed romantic to a Pilgrim, or were romantic ideas considered to be worldly?

How fun. My maternal grandmother came with her family from Norway when she was 16. She met and married my German grandfather; one of their daughters married my full Irish musical father. She was presented at a debutante ball ~ perhaps they became acquainted there. He did play beautifully on our Baby Grand piano! Actually, he told me she was the teller when he went into the savings and loan to refinance his spiffy car. Maybe she had noticed him before that. It was the custom that on Valentine's Day, a lady could send a gentleman a valentine ~ she did. She just happened to have the record of his address on file. By-the-way!

Yes, I've read plenty of true-life accounts of loveless marriages...but I've also read some true-life-true-love stories, too, so even in hard practical times in years gone by, romance could blossom! :)Pam Hillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604636348596615139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-12337926352625930682013-03-16T23:32:30.152-04:002013-03-16T23:32:30.152-04:00Glad you made it to CFHS today, Eliza.

They arrived on the Fortune, right after the Mayflower!! Which is why this particular nob of history you were revealing gave me a rekindlement of interest in knowing even more of my own ancesters and those that they might have encountered and spoken too, so very long ago! I did find out last year, that a very good friend of mine's relatives came over on the Mayflower, and that her family + mine were actually in the new colony around if not during the same time frame! Wouldn't it be keen, if they interacted with each other?! If perhaps, two girls like us, befriended each other!? History can repeat itself,...<br /><br />Please do not enter me in to the giveaway, as I was hoping it was for a paperback copy of *Claiming Mariah* as I've been following you on a blog tour hoping to win it!* I simply smiled whilst reading this and wanted to let you know 'why'...<br />Jorienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-18256352601138478412013-03-16T21:40:59.029-04:002013-03-16T21:40:59.029-04:00What a great scenario for a book series...
