Goldilocks Gamgee, change in need for propriety

As we all know, the Gamgees always insist on being proper, and apparently, it's not proper for a working-class hobbit to speak like a gentlehobbit. But when Goldilocks Gamgee accepts Faramir Took's proposal, the Gamgees are faced with an unexpected situation: neither is it proper for the Thain's wife to speak like a working-class hobbit! And when Pippin dies, Faramir is going to become the next Thain; therefore, the rustic speech that Sam and Rose have always used won't be proper in this situation. How do the Gamgees deal with this complication? Have Sam and Rosie's children long since learned to speak like gentlehobbits, since Sam is the Mayor of the Shire and the Master of Bag End, or does Goldilocks have to work to change her way of speaking in prepration for her upcoming role? You could have the Tooks helping the Gamgees deal with this complication, if you wish.
