It's not just women in the Regency who had to deal with genteel poverty. Seems that being of gentle birth cut you off from almost anything involving working for a living. He could join the military, but unless someone's willing to shell out money for a rank, it's going to be a very miserable experience. Britain is militarily engaged with a half-dozen nations right now, so chances of living through the experience are decidedly below par. Other options are marrying money, and sponging off friends and relatives. So my question for today is, is careless, manipulative, lazy Allan showing signs of a conscience, or has he just been drinking too much?
