Rank associated with tea and sandwiches? (4)

I believe the answer is:

earl

(Other definitions for earl that I've seen before include "Lear (anag)" , "Countesss husband" , "British peer and Dublin street" , "Husband of a countess" , "-- Grey, PM 1830-34" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
