baronetcy

I said to my wife at the time, "He's holdin' out for a baronetcy."

The man is mad—simply mad—about this baronetcy, and in some strange way the girl stands between him and it.

If anything happens to me the baronetcy will go to my brother George and his boy, as it would ultimately do in any case.

Lionel's father and elder brother both died within a short time of one another, leaving him heir to the estate and the baronetcy.
