Madam, I am from Carolina, born and raised with southern grace and charm. Your dignity will never be in question.

[Unless you screw up your own reputation. Then you can go down with the ship, while I take the last lifeboat. I'm not making the mistake of trying to keep two people above the water again.]

Well, that's mighty kind of you to say. I fear I should have warned you sooner that those same southern gentleman I was just referring to are highly susceptible to charm an flattery.
