But I don't think she knows his name Written by Rae (10/31/2008 3:37 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Irish Wentworths, penned by Cheryl

at that point. Sir Walter tells her after she says this.

"A very fine young man indeed!" said Lady Dalrymple. "More air than one often sees in Bath. Irish, I dare say." "No, I just know his name. A bowing acquaintance. Wentworth: Captain Wentworth of the navy. His sister married my tenant in Somersetshire, the Croft who rents Kellynch."

In P2, because of the particular posh accent used, I always hear this as 'More (h)air than one often sees in Bath' :-) No wonder Wentworth looks so uncomfortable!
