    If it was just him and her in relative privacy, I could easily see that being a contributing factor, but he was talking to her amidst a group of other people. You couldn’t get away with that shit in the 1600’s; either her husband or simply a man defending the lady’s honor would have challenged you to a duel and murdered your ass. Look, we’re post-#metoo, I get that sexual harassment/assault is commonplace, but still.

    I’m more persuaded by SheeEttin’s point that alcohol was involved. It’s still a bit mind-boggling to me, but I can see it.
