Miss Manners would shoot me

[dragonyphoenix]

Or whomever the British version of Miss Manners is would. So I have a Watcher, about Wesley's age, and he's interviewing Diedre Page. Would he think of her / call her Diedre or Miss Page or something else that I haven't even thought of?

Edit: They are having tea at the house of a neighbor of Deidre Page. Oh heck, the scene has been posted for Taming the Muse so you can take a look. I switch between Deidre and Miss Page largely because I wasn't sure which he'd go with.

I am pretty sure he would call her Miss/Ms. Page. I know that in a professional setting, I always address people formally until given express permission to do otherwise.

My character, Cecil, is intimate with Deidre Page's neighbor, whom I've named Isla. They are all at Isla's house having tea.

I also think Miss Page, but it's not a professional setting. Deidre Page is old enough to be his mother. I think of Cecil as S3 Wesley, and it just seems as if Wesley would be that formal in that situation.
