Hmm but to be fair Agnes is treating him very much like an equal and a person worthy of her time and/or respect. It didn't feel to me like she was acting this way simply because he's got the money (or she thinks that he's got it)Right, we see Seymour whining like a puppy to Agnes, the old money behind an acclaimed brand, while the kinda guys that hangs around him currently are people who are new to money like him.
Now i wonder if maybe these two know each other, dating back to times where Seymour was the acclaimed book author or even before.
