Why do some writers address someone as Lord M.?

Asked by Petticoatbetty (285points) December 3rd, 2014

In discussion with my spouse, we realized that we have both read books where someone was addressed as Lord followed by a simple initial, such as in work by Agatha Christie or Charles Dickens. It wasn’t Lord Someone Someplace, but instead Lord S. Anyone have any knowledge on the matter?
