 * Comment - Not sure I see the EV in either article... to be quite frank I don't see what the bell pull means in this context either. If there was something discussing this a bit better, I'd support. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 18:14, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Possibly courtship? It's a comment on the social faux pas of gentlemen allowing a lady to stand to summon the servants (via the bell pull), rather than doing it themselves. - SchroCat (talk) 00:07, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
 * See, that's something that a lot of people won't get without actual textual commentary. Unless there were discussion of this code of etiquette (something I can't see being very common now) in an article, I doubt this would have the EV (encyclopedic value) to pass. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:30, 28 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment – Well, the caricatures of the supposed "gentlemen" are funny – maybe that's more the point than the period code of etiquette. Sca (talk) 14:20, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
