Form of Address
Dukes and other individuals who are grandees are entitled to the style of Most Excellent Lord/Lady or His/Her Excellency. Also, individuals who hold a princedom (rare outside the royal family) are addressed as Most Excellent Lord/Lady.
Titled nobles (without a grandeeship) who are of the rank of marquis or count use the style Most Illustrious Lord/Lady. Those who hold a title with the rank of viscount, baron or Señor use simply Señor/Señora.

—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
“I believe the alphabet is no longer considered an essential piece of equipment for traveling through life. In my day it was the keystone to knowledge. You learned the alphabet as you learned to count to ten, as you learned “Now I lay me” and the Lord’s Prayer and your father’s and mother’s name and address and telephone number, all in case you were lost.”
—Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
