Charlotte and Alice are waiting to go to the ball and are playing music to pass the time. This room is a bit like what we would call a Living Room. To ‘withdraw’ means to ‘relax’. There were lots of things that Georgians would do for fun, from playing cards and practising music to rolling the carpet back and practising their dancing! What else might you like to do to relax in this room?
