<<Okay.... So while I understand that you can "just hold hands in the usual 
fashion", I was asking specifically about the raised hands, and whether or 
not Judith understood that we were talking about THAT when she said that it 
was "perfectly period" (or similar words).>>

No, I misunderstand your description.  I thought you were talking about doing what Greg described (taking hands low and turning/circling).  The high-hand hold thing lacks, as Greg has noted, any period iconography, as far as I know.
