Are they from England? It's like you can see the family letting go of the more austere values of the Protectorate era and embracing the decadence of the Restoration with each successive child.

Lemme double check: they were born in Connecticut but their father was an English immigrant from Somerset. Their mom from Rhode Island.

Hm, Rhode Island was exiles/dissenters from Puritan Massachusetts in the 1600s. They were more diverse and tolerant generally.

The backgrounds of the parents could explain the mix of styles. Although it's a mystery to say who was the romantic and who was the conservative! I kind of like that you can't know - gets the imagination going.
