Social Behavior:

Lady Constance and Parkin indulge in infidelity; later, she hints to her husband that she may try to get pregnant by another man. He doesn't protest, but merely airs his "conditions" (the man must be of "decent" stock, etc.). Constance lies about her whereabouts, and Lord Clifford speaks dismissively of the men who work for him in his family's mines.

Consumerism:

Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco:

Some smoking (including close-ups of cigarettes being lit or offered in their cases). More tea-drinking than alcohol -- sex is the drug of choice here -- though wine is served at parties.

Violence

Very little. There's a moment when one character tells her confidante about another character's brawl, but no actual fighting is seen on screen. Also, Sir Clifford and his pals discuss the gruesome business and casualties of war in an early scene.

Sex

A handful of scenes depict simulated intercourse, though in many of them the characters are still partially clothed. Only a few scenes show both characters fully naked from head to toe engaged in sex. Genitals -- male and female -- are shown in one scene; later, the lovers lie atop each other naked. In another scene, Constance and Parkin put flowers in each other's pubic region and run naked in the rain. Constance stands in front of a mirror naked from the waist up, then takes off the rest of her clothes.

Language

Mild and flowery. Sexual conquest is prefaced by a fairly innocuous "Do you want to be with me?"
