No, not because it's probably haunted.
When you wonder how people would have ever caught up with the housework you have to keep in mind that most families with houses that are this large had a staff of twenty people working about 70 hours a week to keep that not so humble abode spic and span. So, when we're daydreaming about those days Jane Austin and Jane Eyre, really any of the Janes, there is a community of people living their lives in the backdrops of all of those stories. Just remember to dust behind that vase on the mantelpiece, trust us, those high-class ladies will check! After that, they'd be running around until past dinner time: cleaning the house, helping their mistress's into their ridiculous gowns, and helping in the kitchens. Whether you're looking for an ensemble for a play, a murder mystery dinner, or a costume party in this costume you'd fit right in at the poshest of manors.
