[about Elliott's monogrammed robe]
Elliott, what the devil's that crown doing over your initials?
Elliott Templeton:
His Holiness has been graciously pleased to revive, in my favor, my old family title.
W. Somerset Maugham:
Your what?
Elliott Templeton:
Oh, didn't you know? I'm descended, in the female line, from the Count de Lauria, who came over to England with Philip II to marry the maid of honor to Queen Mary. As an American citizen, I feel it more modest not to use my title except on all my personal linen.
