Can anyone place Phyllis's accent? We know her mother had her out of wedlock and apparently raised her alone, although we don't know if the mother had a posh background.
The accent sounds a lot like the Mid-Atlantic accent of Julia Child and Eleanor Roosevelt. It is not often heard anymore, but it was/is upper-crust.
