To me, 'tis mainly the behavior of the populace - the courteous (but not stuffy)
manner, the "forsooth" speech, the *honesty*.  Unfortunately, it can easily be
intruded on by other means, such as suffocation by cigarette smoke (which I
suppose would break the mood far less were it not so irritating by itself), and
overly modern dress/clothing/topics/objects/etc.

(Yes, I realize tobacco could be considered [late] period, but I do not believe
that *cigarettes* are period - let alone the chemicals that American
cigar/cigarette companies lace them with, which I believe may be the major
irritant, at least in my case, as pipes and foreign cigs don't bother me
anywhere NEAR as much.)
