dame

Ergo, the UK’s beloved Dame was also our kind of dame.

The respected English dame “passed away peacefully” early Friday in a London hospital, her sons, Chris Larkin and Toby Stephens, said in a statement to The Times.

Wilson, who was made a dame in 2008, has never shied away from writing about difficult and dark issues.

“And then just when I thought the very notion of dating or holding another hand was repulsive ... I met that crazy dame over there.”

“Look at these dames, how cute are they?”
