The Brooklyn Dame writes things the way she sees them; you'll know, with no guessing required, the Dame's likes and dislikes. You will note that this column is written the way she speaks (or hears those voices in her head...uh oh...). You'll also note strike-throughs embedded in her articles...Why? Because a proper English dame doesn't say foul things in public -- so she allows her inner voice to speak while her outer proper voice keeps her in check.

In order to give the full flavour of what is being relayed, sometimes words will be written in the ‘Queen’s English’, or with any one of the variety of accents by which she's surrounded; you may have to sound out a few words or refer to the random dictionary in the sidebar. The idea is so that you’ll feel as though you're sitting together -- transcending borders -- as she's speaking directly to you.
