Robert and Mary talk about her being blackmailed about when she went away with Tony. Mary says that that would not have happened in her Grandparents time and Robert refers to them as Edwardian. Edwardian refers to the time of King Edward VII who was King 1901-1910. He should have said Victorian after Queen Victoria who reigned 1837-1901.
Corrected: Robert is not referring to the era his grandparents were born in. He is referring to the era that influenced their lifestyle, i.e. the era of the fashionable and lavish king Edward VII.
