21st century sensibilities in the 19th century. Zero research of the time frame, especially with medical issues. I read a book years ago that had a doctor giving antibiotics via shots in 1899. The same book was filled with stilted jerky hitting-the-breaks dialogue.
Example: "You are being rude. Beatrice and her parents are friends of mine and your father's. I expect you to dine with us. Do not be late."
"I am sorry for your loss. If you need me please send your grandfather to my office. I will come to you. I will step out now so Becca can help you change."
Gah.
