What's wrong with kissing a woman's hand? Is that automatically considered flirting? In that kind of setting I think that's normal or at least that's what I think according to heyer, austen and kleypas books. Aristocratic mamas in historical fiction are treated the same way?
And what's up with those who complain about the sfxs?? Clean your ungrateful butts instead.
