- How are you this evening, my dear?
- Very well... although I wish you would not call me "my dear."
- Why?
- Because it's what my father always calls my mother when he's cross about so mething
- What endearments am I allowed?
- Well let me think..."Lizzie" for every day, "My Pearl" for Sundays, and..."Goddess Divine"... but only on *very* special occasions.
- And... what should I call you when I am cross? Mrs. Darcy...?
- No! No. You may only call me "Mrs. Darcy"... when you are completely, and perfectly, and incandescently happy.
- Then how are you this evening... Mrs. Darcy? Mrs. Darcy... Mrs. Darcy... Mrs. Darcy... Mrs. Darcy!
