My money would be on ‘too arrogant’.

I do wonder why Ms. Mountjoy was already naked while in transit, though. Did she read a rubbing of the erotopylon’s text, or was she just kinky like that? (Hey, the Victorians managed to reproduce, so they couldn’t all have been opposed to sexual experiences.)

    Clearly, they lacked both an imagination and knowledge of what people actually got (and get) up to indoors. Or outdoors. :p

  Sexual Repression of the Victorian Era was simply they simply hid it behind the visage of their definition of “civilized” and “nobility” and closed it off and pretended it wasn’t there even though it was.

Is that a wallet or a notebook? If it’s a notebook, where’s her pen?

  It might be she swiped the translator’s notebook.
