What It Was REALLY Like to Be Rich in London in 1875 | History for Sleep

A house in a good square, nine servants, and an income most of the country could not imagine. This is a long, slow day in the life of a wealthy London household in 1875 — the morning rituals and the calls, the carriage and the park, the shops and the dressmakers, the dinner for fourteen and the season that ran the whole calendar. What the money actually bought, what it cost to keep up, and what the whole apparatus looked like from the inside. Told gently, in calm narration, to help you drift off.
