She Cleans Up Nicely | |
| What a Girl Wants / int_2740531a | comment |
She Cleans Up Nicely: Daphne, including the stair entrance. Daphne passes on her tips in this regard to Peach and Pear; the dresses they wore for their coming-out party made them look fat, but when they next appear they are wearing more form-fitting green outfits. | |

Batman Gambit: Jocelyn Dashwood doesn't like her son sacrificing himself for political reasons. When Daphne comes around, Jocelyn is more than happy to help her out in getting to know her father better, therefore pushing him out of Alistair's manipulative hands. | |

Secret Secret-Keeper: A dark example as Henry discovers that Alistair knew all along about Libby being pregnant and kept it from him so he wouldn't "throw your life away" chasing her. Henry responds by punching Alistiar in the face. | |

Luke, You Are My Father: When Daphne and Henry initially meet, Henry assumes she's another paparazzi journalist trying to get a photo of him, until she shows him the photo Libby gave her and explains that it was because her mother thought she should know what her father looked like. | |

| What a Girl Wants / int_abe4d7b | comment |
Blue Blood: Daphne's paternal family is of nobility, consisting her father, Lord Henry Dashwood, the Earl of Wycombe, and her paternal grandmother, Jocelyn Dashwood, the Countess of Wycombe. Daphne herself is apparently 39th in line to the British throne because of this. | |

What Beautiful Eyes!: Henry insists that Daphne must be his daughter because she has his eyes. Despite the fact that Colin Firth has small, brown eyes and Amanda Bynes has large, green eyes. | |

It's a Costume Party, I Swear!: Successfully pulled on Daphne, who goes to a formal event in a tank top and ripped jeans. However, people thought she was a model at first, instead of improperly dressed, so it backfired. | |

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Glyniss and Clarissa both ended up in unhappy marriages (Glynnis to a wealthy but boring gentleman and Clarissa to Armistead, who is still keeping up his womanizing ways) Alistair is now stuck working a London tour bus, which is probably the closest he'll get to Parliament now. Henry and Libby got married legally. As for Daphne, she's now attending Oxford like her father did. She and Ian are happily dating. | |

Britain Is Only London: Colin Firth's character owning a country estate in downtown London. Roger Ebert's review of the film contains a priceless quote in which he commented that that kind of real estate would have to be "worth more than Rhode Island". | |
