Use of last names

Use of last names Written by Ramya (1/27/2004 4:39 p.m.)

Lady Catherine calles the Colonel and Darcy(I think) by their last names. And the Col uses Darcy's last name too.

I wonder why they would not use the first names, they are very close relatives, after all. Any thoughts, anyone?
