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.

I, too, would go with Miss Page in this case.

Definitely Miss Page unless she explicitly invites him to use her first name. The age gap alone would suggest this. Watchers would on the whole err on the formal side, so he might struggle even after an invitation, which she might find amusing. We very, very rarely use Ms in speech, BTW.

I would say Miss Page or Madame. Wesley is definitely the formal type.
