I see no difference between squires, cadets, knights, barons, kings,
lords and laymen when it comes do seeing that a job needs to be done and
doing it. I was just a little put out at the last event I attended when I
passed a member of the shire that put on the event and was asked what I
was doing. I replied that I was going to get water to help with the
cleanup and asked if he would like to help. He replied "No."
