Early the next morning--directly after twelve--Miss Pole made her appearance at Miss Matty's. Some very trifling1 piece of business was alleged2 as a reason for the call; but there was evidently something behind. At last out it came.
"By the way, you'll think I'm strangely ignorant; but, do you really know, I am puzzled how we ought to address Lady Glenmire. Do you say, 'Your Ladyship,' where you would say 'you' to a common person? I have been puzzling all morning; and are we to say 'My Lady,' instead of 'Ma'am?' Now you knew Lady Arley--will you

Poor Miss Matty! she took off her spectacles and she put them on again--but how Lady Arley was addressed, she could not remember.
"It is so long ago," she said. "Dear! dear! how stupid I am! I don't think I ever saw her more than twice. I know we used to call Sir Peter, 'Sir Peter'--but he came much oftener to see us than Lady Arley did. Deborah would have known in a minute. 'My lady'-- 'your ladyship.' It sounds very strange, and as if it was not natural. I never thought of it before; but, now you have named it, I am all in a puzzle."
It was very certain Miss Pole would obtain no wise decision from Miss Matty, who got more bewildered every moment, and more
perplexed4 as to etiquettes of address.
"Well, I really think," said Miss Pole, "I had better just go and tell Mrs Forrester about our little difficulty. One sometimes grows nervous; and yet one would not have Lady Glenmire think we were quite ignorant of the etiquettes of high life in Cranford."
"And will you just step in here, dear Miss Pole, as you come back, please, and tell me what you decide upon? Whatever you and Mrs Forrester fix upon, will be quite right, I'm sure. 'Lady Arley,' 'Sir Peter,'" said Miss Matty to herself, trying to recall the old forms of words.
"Who is Lady Glenmire?" asked I.
"Oh, she's the widow of Mr Jamieson--that's Mrs Jamieson's late husband, you know--widow of his
