Two Gentlemen of Honour, A Commotion in Stop Motion (2012) Amongst the more popular parlour games of the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras was Fighting or Scrapping. After a formal dinner, the gentlemen would retire for several rounds of asskicking in the duelling room (later known as the drawing room. ) It was on one such occasion that Oscar Wilde, having lost a SetTo to the Duke of WallMarsh, famously remarked: that bitch want to thrown down again, I ll throw down. I ll put the mother f ing beat down on that skankass In this, the first video in our series, Sir Leopold HumphreyHumphries and his colleague Colin Table give a demonstration of some of the techniques employed in this once popular passtime.
