Poor, humble, unaspiring Mr. Dobbs was “Milorded,” to his great annoyance, by everybody, at the Parisian hotel; and monsieur the landlord thought it but right that the rich English “Milord” should pay for the superior accommodation himself and family received at “Le Grand Hôtel.”
To the ignorant Italians who milorded or miladied them, they were always anxious to explain that they “had no titles, and would be sorry to have any,”—that the members of the House of Lords were for the most part mere upstarts, and that the true nobility of England were the old land-owners,—the county families,—before whose names men only placed the plain Mr. and Mrs. by which they themselves, the Crawleys, preferred to be designated.

The most important thing, she reflected, as she stood on the balcony of the Mairie which formed a most useful belvedere over the town, was to make her appearance as commonplace and down at heel as possible […].
Three castellated (with battlements) towers stand sentry here, with one being particularly large. This is said to have been used by Rhodes as a belvedere, and (according to some sources) by railway staff for some time after opening.
