A Royal Mistress, On Earning Her Considerable Keep
It is said of Lillie Langtry that when Edward Albert (then Prince of Wales, eventually Edward VII) complained of the costs of maintaining her as a mistress, she had a snappy, ah, comeback:
The Prince once complained to Langtry, “I’ve spent enough on you to build a battleship”, whereupon she tartly replied, “And you’ve spent enough in me to float one”.
Fair’s fair!

Woo-hoo!
Lillie Langtry inspired many men. In America her greatest fan was Judge Roy Bean, The Law West of The Pecos, who named the town Langtry Texas after her.
