nancy-boy is an entirely accurate description for most edwardian upper class youths. They were usually overmothered and pampered before boarding school/army/civil service etc. was supposed to toughen them up. Especially in places like India where being European meant as soon as you left school you'd be put into positions of authority like assistant district superintendent of a railway or an army/police officer in charge of natives.

That's life back then one minute you are dressed in a sailor suit holding on to your nanny's coattails then 4 years later you are in the Punjab keeping the local wogs in line with a Webley.
