This she does especially when they are in conformity with their venerable antiquity. — Pope Leo XIII

literature was an elderly gentleman in a grey suit talking about
duchesses. — Virginia Woolf

Kolchak nodded, 'Right, because that would make sense." He took off his hat and crumpled it against his hip.
