Which excerpt from A Night to Remember best indicates the customs of the time period?

There was no more joking or lingering. In fact, there was hardly time to say good-by.
Mr. Terrell Cavendish said nothing to Mrs. Cavendish. Just a kiss . . . a long look . . . another kiss . . . and he disappeared into the crowd.
"Walter, you must come with me," begged Mrs. Walter D. Douglas. "No," Mr. Douglas replied, turning away, "I must be a gentleman."
Mrs. Smith had an inspiration. She went up to him, explained she was all alone in the world, and asked if her husband could go along with her.

Think about it; which of these quotes would seem strange in our time, or better suit a different time period? The first one seems like something you could say today. B seems like another thing you could say today. The need to be a gentleman in C seems more like something of that time. D seems to be something you could say in our time as well. C seems the most like that time to me.
