Answering the telephone...
How do you think hyacinth asked to speak with Richard when she phone him in meetings?
shareWell, not certain, but perhaps something along the line of "Tell him that it's his wife, Hyacinth, the one with the finest menagerie specimen collection of priceless figurines in our zip code, the mother of our Sheridan, and the one who prepares the finest of candlelight suppers with my Royal Doulton China with the hand painted periwinkles."
If Sheridan were here, he'd be appalled.
