In 1914, it was 15 years after the invasion of Mars and as Mars neared Earth again in its orbit the Earth had been preparing itself against a follow up attack. Dr Tesla believed he was detecting coded messages which could have been a prelude to a new invasion. ARES (Allied Resistance Earth Squadrons) which formed after the last invasion, had a new arsenal based on Martian technology which included “walkers” powered by steam and armed with missles,88 mm cannons, and heat rays, bi-planes armed with heat rays, and massive armored blimps ("War of the Worlds: Goliath", flm)

During the confrontation, Lady Catherine accuses Elizabeth of being ‘lost to every feeling of propriety and delicacy’, a charge that she equates with her refusal to accept the distinctions of social class. But, as Elizabeth demonstrates, true propriety and delicacy are indicative of manners rather than rank. Furthermore, although Elizabeth refuses to be bullied by authority and exhibits courage and frankness in her private encounter with Lady Catherine, she also has a heightened awareness of the importance of observing social forms in public. […]

It is striking that no such decorum is necessary for the union between Elizabeth and Darcy. Indeed, their relationship is defined by their mutual candour, and their unwillingness to dissemble, which is perhaps what Darcy implies in his remark that ‘neither of us performs to strangers’. […] Elizabeth shows her grasp of the particular dynamic of their relationship when she assesses the qualities with which Darcy fell in love:

‘My beauty you had early withstood, and as for my manners - my behaviour to you was at least always bordering on the uncivil…. Now be sincere; did you admire me for my impertinence?’ ‘For the liveliness of your mind, I did' ‘You may as well call it impertinence at once. It was very little less. The fact is, that you were sick of civility, of deference, of officious attention. You were disgusted with the women who were always speaking and looking, and thinking for your approbation alone. I roused, and interested you, because I was so unlike them" (PP, p. 380)

It is precisely Elizabeth’s irreverence and frankness that make possible a private language between them that transcends a society dependent upon conformity to social mores.

Wonder Woman's bracelets were inspired by those worn by Olive Byrne, who the character was primarily based on. Byrne was in a polyamorous relationship with William and Elizabeth Marston and is said to have worn the bracelets to represent their unofficial marriage in lieu of wedding rings.
