'''Mary:''' He says not, Your Majesty. But if he ever changed his mind...as his wife, of course, I would do his bidding. }}

== Literature ==

*Pam on [[The Winds of War and War and Remembrance]] is this as well as being an [[Intrepid Reporter]], and [[Lady of War]] in both the books and the miniseries. She is the [[Betty and Veronica|Veronica]] of the romance angle of the story. She is not a [[Proper Lady]] in all respects, for she claims to not be very moral and in the strictly sexual sense that is true. But she is loyal to her father and country, patriotic, and has a clear idea of who [[Those Wacky Nazis|the bad guys]] were in her time when [[Les Collaborateurs|some people]] were naive, fearful, or opportunistic. Which gives her an edge up on other categories of morality. In any case she is charming and attractive and, well, ladylike.

 

* Juliet Higgins in the [[Magnum, P.I. (2018 series)|''Magnum, P.I.'' reboot]]. Double for [[Lady of Adventure]]. She is a very polite lady not to mention good looking. She is also a veteran of assignments for the British secret service.
