I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but there seems to be an 19th century man on my back porch. I've given him a cup of tea but unfortunately my roommate is highly allergic to menfolk or I'd ask him inside. Is there anything else I should do for him? Or should I just leave him be?

Oh dear! You can try leaving articles of clothing for him, such as a greatcoat or macintosh, or even a cache of tinned food (which is known to attract 19th century men).

But at this point, if he hasn’t found a good home, you may want to turn to a local organisation such as a social club for 19th century gentlemen. He wasn't made to be wandering alone; he should be socialising and enjoying whitebait dinners with his peers!

I'm attached to my "smug asshole Caesar" avatar, but I gotta admit, "Tiberius Gracchus dressed as a pouty Eton schoolboy" is seriously tempting.

POV: you are a small boy in 1852 who is being cruelly forced to wear turn-down collars, even though young Sidney Bowler—who's not half so tall as you!—has had stick-ups and white chokers for ever so long.

Rating: NOT CUTE.

Someone has let their "lively" and ill-trained 19th century man out-of-doors, providing him with an umbrella in case of inclement weather. But instead of taking a healthful walk, he's smoking a cigar and antagonizing an elderly man.

"My Charley would never do such a thing! He's a Victorian!" —who hasn't heard this excuse? Even the most cursory glance into a history book will show unsupervised Victorian men causing endless problems! It doesn't matter if you think he's well-bred: he needs structure and guidance, or you're going to have an intractable bully on your hands.
