I'd find it easy to do, except for this

  BEING FOR THE BENEFIT OF [MR.] KITE ==> Being for the Benefit of [Mr.]
Kite

I don't understand the generalized rule for [MR.], on the input. Do I've to
guess this (and also other ones like MRS. etc) before any kind of name, or
a problem something like that?

If David Carlisle's answer solves your problem, that'd would be great. If
not, and if you can answer my question, I can try solving this.
