J> Eustace was not a 'SIR'. He was a merchant and a 'gent'

Again because I am not familiar with British ways, I don't really know the different
significances between Sir & Gentleman ... but are those types of titles inherited ?

I often see in scholarly works, the immigrant ROLFE (who married Pocahontas)
called a Sir ... are you saying he was the first one in his family to gain the title of Sir ?

J> Suggest you use Wikepedia to find out more details

I had already looked up the meaning :)

J> I must either find my specs, or buy a new pair, for use on the computer

Yea, I know what you mean ... as I get older, it seems to get
harder to read the small stuff on the computer screen :))
