Edwardians weren't known for their propriety - Edward VII was a bit of a rake.

Oh yes they were. Propriety is simply 'conforming to the customs and usages of high society'. See here for a full dictionary definition. Married members of 'high society' could take a lover provided they stuck to the 'rules'. If you didn't you were 'cut'.
