Benchley, Wodehouse, and Mitford

In response to this query,

Hi there!
My mother and I used to read a book together and I think it was by Robert Benchley. I think it was called Noblesse Oblige, and was very funny.

Would you happen to know anything about this?

Thanks,

Thank you for contacting the Robert Benchley Society. There is no book of Benchley's by the name "Noblesse Oblige." You can find a listing of all Benchley's books, with the titles of the individual essays in each book, on
our website at

According to Wikipedia there are a couple of works by that name:

Noblesse Oblige (book), a humorous book on U and non-U English edited by Nancy Mitford

Noblesse Oblige (short story), a short story by P. G. Wodehouse
