Oh, and while I agree that John's "Darling!" in K&C is definitely ironic, I wouldn't put it past pre-Ripper John to have called Helen "darling" perfectly seriously; we are talking about a man who could utter the words "I promise to make you happy for all eternity" with a straight face. Which just makes it sting more, I'm sure.
