No problem.
Dress some ladies in high-waisted, low-necked gowns with narrow skirts and puffed sleeves. Have them say “lud.” Be sure that the heroine is a) a saucy miss, b) pluck to the backbone, c) a minx. Her best friend has “more hair than wit.”
Gentlemen must wear high shirt points with elaborately folded neck cloths, coats, and inexepressibles molded to reveal all masculine attributes. The hero may or may not be titled, but he doesn’t suffer fools gladly.
Mix all ingredients in London’s Mayfair, a stately country home, an idyllic village—or any combination thereof.
Voilà, you have a Regency Romance!
