ES - Precedence

[Axel , Jeanmaire & Diane Remes]

Arabella:

As others have said, I've never felt insulted by someone omitting my title,
or calling me "My Lady" instead.  If I cared terribly I would have said
something.  In many ways I am the worst offender, and poor Zara Zina is
lucky if I don't call her Vicki at events - truly the WORST faux pas.  I can
hardly call the kettle black on this one.

I don't wear it very often, either.

I almost never introduce myself in that way when I'm sober, why should I do
it when I'm toasted out of my mind?  As for judging the competition, I have
seldom had so much fun judging so much talent.  Truly the Arts & Sciences in
this kingdom have reached a new high.  (Or a new low.)

Sincerely,
Jeanmaire
