Let them eat cake

Truths Universally Acknowledged

This week, Emma and Molly don't really give the newest suitor on The Courtship a chance. In this episode, we discuss masquerades (both historical and fictional), wonder how many men are too many men, and talk about how much we love lemon cake. Also of interest: 18th century racism, questionable Shakespeare, romance novel recommendations, the Great British Bake Off, Disney princes, eating the rich, and the fact that, contrary to what Joe Jonas might tell you, gin used to be known as the scourge of the British working class.
