For respectable London gentlemen, there are always many things that can ruin their mood.
However, surely nothing is more vexing than being mocked by a bunch of street urchins.
These idle rascals often roam in gangs through London's streets and alleys, sarcastically asking well-dressed passersby, "Where did you buy your hat?"
The ones wearing white-topped hats are always targeted, even dignified Bishops with their chimney hats can't escape their mockery.
Once they latch onto you, at best they pull funny faces, at worst they ask in public, "Does your mother feel comfortable with you going out alone?" or "Is your father still well?" specifically to deflate the egos of respectable individuals.
Moreover, in this era that values boxing, they don't just use their mouths. Especially vile are those butcher apprentices, these hot-blooded lads will set the scene for a brawl over trivial matters, even reasons that barely count.
