OK - why not have another try at this one?
As far as I am concerned I sincerely hope it does still have relevance - mostly it seems to me to be normal decent courteous behaviour. Standards perhaps hard to meet - but then so are most of the standards in the Bible.
It is quite clear from the works, too, that these standards weren't any more universal in the 1930s than they are now. Those who fall short - the burglars in SA, Black Jake, the Hullabaloos, George Owdon, Mr Jemmerling, get their come-uppance in a way that doesn't always happen in real life, but one of the joys of fiction is (or used to be) that good triumphs in the end.
