Sir John Elwill, 1st Baronet
“I am ready to fulfill my duty to the Crown.”
“Relax, John. It’s just a title. There are no requirements.”
“It’s Sir John, if you please.”
“Alright, Sir John, if you insist. And now that I think of it, I do have a mission for you. My Bentley needs washing.”
This story is complete fiction. Sir John Elwill was an English aristocrat and politician who lived in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
A Baronet is the lowest hereditary titled British order, with the status of a commoner, yet still able to use the prefix “Sir.”
Sir John Elwill is a cool name. He could have been in a song:
“Who will save the day?”
“Sir John Elwill!”
“Who will bake us a cake?”
“Sir John Elwill!”
