From my readings in English Literature, I'd gathered that nobless oblige went further than merely speaking kindly to people. The wives and daughters of the nobility often made the rounds to the village folk with gifts of fruit, vegetables, and game from the estate. Extra stuff, you know. Later, in the Victorian age, charity work was very popular with the wives of the well-to-do. The more visible, the better, if you know what I mean.

Extra stuff, you know. Extra thanks to whose labor?
