Period Drama Fans Question

What does this mean?

I often noticed that people in period dramas put their finger on their nose this way (look at the picture) and I don't know what does it mean?

I'm not sure but i think it means "that would be telling" or "mind your own business" :)

but I don't think it meant "that would be telling" and "mind ur business" in this scene "from Little Dorrit"
