-from Magic Flutes/The Reluctant Heiress by Eva Ibbotson
Tessa (a princess without property and with little money) to the man who has purchased her family home when attempting to explain why she hadn’t noticed her childhood friend and best friend were in love and that her best friend was pregnant
The events in the book take place after the first World War and while the princess is from Austria, it illustrates how the Crawley sisters were also likely raised (this is also indicated by comments by and scenes involving Lady Mary to the effect of never having been to school, learning practical things, and showing how innocent and sheltered she, her sisters, and likely her contemporaries).
How could Lady Mary be expected to have any clue about adult relationships and sex?
The answer to that is she did not, which is demonstrated by “Will it hurt?”
Also, based upon the mores of the day, once Pamuk entered her room, her ability to consent was taken from her.
We can also arrive at this same set of facts (the conclusion, not the book/series) by reading history.
