How are we to meet our hero if Mr. Bennet won't call on Mr. Bingley?

The graphic provided offers a few rules on the etiquette of paying calls.

• All calls received must be returned within one week

• In the countryside, neighbours must call on a new resident first, but in town, a new resident can call first

• Refreshments are expected but not tea

• Gentlemen should be the first to call, then introduce their wife and daughters

• Calls should not exceed 15 minutes

• In town, social inferiors cannot initiate a call, but they can in the country

This list of calling etiquette is just a teaser. For more details, including the etiquette of using calling cards, visit my research post on Calling Cards & Social Calls
