This may be etiquette in the U.S. but it is not in court circles in
Britain.
Manners may well differ in different countries. My comment was an answer
to
Bjarne according to British habits. Under normal circumstances, most
ladies
would be wearing gloves, so the actual kiss on the skin of the hand would
not happen anyway. Gloves were not taken off when one was introduced to
someone.

As I said "Perhaps" and "some"
Please note from the site:
"Period books of (American) etiquette state that not removing one's gloves
by the gentleman is perfectly proper. If your character is European,
however, the gentleman would remove the glove from the hand that takes the
lady's."
This is more 1800s etiquette and from what little I understand of the
period, much of both US coasts were fascinated by European etiquette
during
the 1800s and tried to emulate it.
Perhaps I misread Bjarne's email as I do not remember seeing Britain
specified. I apologies for the bandwidth in posting the url. I will
definitely make sure that I do not make that mistake again.
De
