    Ohhhh... I understand now...

    "Mr." is what Celie calls her husband. That's his nickname. You'll find out what his real name is later in the book.

    Is that what you meant?

    Are there blanks other than "Mr. ___" because if not, then HistorianChick explained it.

    Enjoy it, it's a great story!
