"Little Lord Fauntleroy" = Cậu chủ nhỏ Fauntleroy (tên của một cuốn truyện tiểu thuyết cho thiếu nhi) -> Người thông minh, thiện lành, duyên dáng và trong sạch.

Ví dụ
You could live like Little Lord Fauntleroy, whose Scottish castle has just gone on sale cheaper than the average price of a London flat.

It felt sad. I thought he looked like a Little Lord Fauntleroy wearing those OTT bespoke (đặt làm riêng, đặt trước) suits in those clubs which belonged to his late father.

He may have lived like “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” but “it was a very lonely life for Little Boy,” Ferlinghetti writes, “with the nearest neighbor out of sight (xa mặt) and no children of any age to play with.” In a mansion (lâu đài, biệt thự) some 20 miles outside New York City, his new guardians (người bảo vệ, giám hộ) spoke to one another in courtly tones and dressed in Victorian garb (quần áo có tính chất tiêu biểu). They sent him to a private school, and, more important, they possessed a fine library, which he was encouraged to use.
