I thought it was strange... Written by Kathrynn (1/27/2004 7:58 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Use of last names, penned by Ramya

that Mr. Bennet called Mrs. Bennet "Mrs. Bennet", but I kind of thought they were just being, well, mean to each other, in their Mr. Bennet vs. Mrs. Bennet way. Ha! ;D What do I know? Good question! Maybe it just went along with the overly formal ways of society that came from the preceeding trends of the times?
