People just went to tea-dances and talked flippantly, and some of the men had drinks. And everybody laughed a great deal, and it was decadent, and the end of an era, and a lot of shocking things but it wasn't half as hard as living now, because there weren't standards, except when they were had by aunts and employers and such people.
