wasn't mistress originally just the wife of a guy. Mistress is matching with Master and all

Highly recommend reading Faber’s Velvet Crimson & the White. I believe there’s a film too.

I found out through genealogical research that my 2x great-grandmother was a kept mistress. I found out because of newspaper articles. She successfully sued someone for breach of contract 🥰

A kept mistress was always there, convenient and in reasonably good health, and greatly lessened the risk of stds on both sides due her only having (usually) one partner for the duration of the relationship. You can see why the arrangement was popular.... a pretty, clever woman could wind up set for life after only a few clients, and a man probably wouldn't get the clap.

Kept mistress also implied that she came from lower social class. A mistress is not. In fact it is not uncommon to be a mistress to one’s husband’s friends as long as they are discreet.

So, I always wondered how Mrs Younge in P&P afforded a house to then set up as hired lodging. Could she had been a kept mistress after Darcy fired her?
