Noble House may refer to:
Noble House is a novel by James Clavell, published in 1981 and set in Hong Kong in 1963.
It is a massive book, well over 1000 pages, with dozens of characters and numerous intermingling plot lines. In 1988, it was adapted as a television miniseries for NBC, starring Pierce Brosnan. The miniseries updates the storyline of the novel to the 1980s.
The Noble House also is a nickname of Struan's, the trading company featured prominently in most of Clavell's novels.
Noble House is set in 1963. The tai-pan, Ian Dunross, struggles to rescue Struan's from the precarious financial position left by his predecessor. To do this, he seeks partnership with an American millionaire, while trying to ward off his arch-rival Quillan Gornt, who seeks to destroy Struan's once and for all. Meanwhile, Chinese communists, Taiwanese nationalists, and Soviet spies illegally vie for influence in Hong Kong while the British government seeks to prevent this. And nobody, it seems, can get anything done without enlisting the aid of Hong Kong's criminal underworld. Other obstacles include water shortages, landslides, bank runs and stock market crashes.
A noble is a member of the nobility.
Noble may also refer to:
A house is a building that functions as a home, ranging from simple dwellings such as rudimentary huts of nomadic tribes and the improvised shacks in shantytowns to complex, fixed structures of wood, brick, marble or other materials containing plumbing, ventilation and electrical systems. Most conventional modern houses in Western cultures will contain a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen or cooking area, and a living room. In traditional agriculture-oriented societies, domestic animals such as chickens or larger livestock (like cattle) may share part of the house with humans. The social unit that lives in a house is known as a household. Most commonly, a household is a family unit of some kind, although households may also be other social groups or individuals. The design and structure of the house is also subject to change as a consequence of globalization, urbanization and other social, economic, demographic, and technological reasons. Various other cultural factors also influence the building style and patterns of domestic space.

Here's a promo for the NBC Miniseries "Noble House", which aired during Part 2 of "The Murder of Mary Phagan" on January 26, 1988. On both ends are bumpers for the "NBC Miniseries". There was a variant that aired as "NBC Monday Night at the Movies", and probably used for other nights they ran movies. Quality is not great as it was recorded on a bad VCR.

you should drain of color
like an insect on a leaf
you should taste of nothing
how much water would you be
shows how right you are
when i'm crying and you're not
i'm not one of those
to say that hurting is better
than not knowing.
fill the nights with water
or something promising to fill
never mind the waiting
beautiful
something
bewitch
will
shows how strong you are
when i'm trying and you're not
on you, doesn't show
i would fass for that face again
after all.
stop telling my heart...
just stop tugging my heart.
