No, Daniel answered about both.  That's why I wrote "H* L*": it covers
all of "Honorable Lord/Lady", "His Lordship", and "Her Ladyship".
They are all customarily used in Ansteorra and some other kingdoms to
refer to grant-level people (regional and temporal variations about
who uses which), and all are merely customary.

I think that's a sentence of some kind -- AltaVista Babelfish suggest
"Madame is been useful".  Titles are not sentences in any language
I've heard of.
