Downton Abbey

Real aristocratic temperament• To be a nobleman is not dependent on how big the fortune you

have. On the contrary, it depends on the elegance and the attitude to others. On the other hand ,when facing the changes from the revolutions of the society , the real nobleman is to stay their role ,helping themselves and the farmers, who had been farming on their lands for more than a century to adapt to the change.

• It's the tolerance and the responsibility that make of a real nobleman instead of the wealth.
