There's probably no rule about this, so repetition is not wrong. But I 
agree it sounds awkward. So for having a good writing style, I would 
suggest you only use it once. But to make clear the listener knows you

So another base for using it only once in a sentence instead of 
repeating. I think of the English situation:

"your honor"s breakfast, if "your honor" eat fifty trees[...]
