IMO this is just.... Written by Reeba (9/14/2010 7:24 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Lady Bertram and Mrs. Norris, penned by Erica

her ingratiating manneirsm to please them especially Sir Thomas.

As for Lady Bertram she wouldn't bother with whatever way she addressed. I find this one sentence extremely descriptive of her in the first chapter;

"Lady Bertram made no opposition." :-D

This contrast between the sisters is very amusing.
Love the way JA writes "would have contented herself with merely giving up her sister" LOL.

So you see, I don't think being called Lady Bertram by her sister is going to disturb her.
