Never. A woman's opinion didn't count so there was no point in her interrupting a conversation at all. Women tended to talk amongst themselves and leave the men to their own discussions.

There was a class divide. I am sure that they would talk down to the working class/servants.

An awful lot was achieved by Britain during those days.

No, they basically didn't speak unless spoken to, amongst themselves or in private to men that were either her husband or relatives.

No, because women didn't have brains in those days, or so the menfolk thought.
