* ValuesDissonance: Between RegencyEngland and ''both'' UsefulNotes/VictorianBritain ''and'' the present day. Part of the point of the story seems to have been to highlight the ways in which Victorian culture had progressed over Regency.
** In RegencyEngland ''and'' early UsefulNotes/VictorianBritain, it was both legal and socially-acceptable to marry even a close cousin. Richard's crush on Maria is thus ''not'' meant as {{Squick}}.
** LoveAtFirstSight: Also taken ''much'' more seriously in both RegencyEngland and UsefulNotes/VictorianBritain than it is today.
** MightMakesRight: Complicated. In RegencyEngland dueling over a fair maiden was acceptable, but ''not'' the way that Richard does it. By the time of UsefulNotes/VictorianBritain, this was already starting to be seen as a bit barbaric. This is key to the tale.
** DuelToTheDeath: More acceptable in Regency than in Victorian times (when duels had already become mostly non-lethal); and of course ''much'' more acceptable in Regency times than in the 21st century. It's important to note that the ''way'' Richard challenged George was dishonorable even by the laxer Regency standards, though.
