Women who live paycheck to paycheck can handle a one—or three—night stand better than those in my class. Noble ladies are spoiled, demanding—they’re used to getting everything they want—and turn vindictive when they’re denied. But girls like my pretty barmaid are accustomed to knowing there are some things in life they’ll never be able to lock down.
This sets up Nicholas’s willingness to hook up with a girl outside his social circle - shows that it’s not out of character for him. In an earlier version of this chapter, we actually see Meg the barmaid waking up in Nicholas’s room. This was revised b/c, I preferred referencing Nicholas’s past as opposed to seeing it play out in real time.
