Thirty ducats and a hundred thalers, plus a hundred pounds, if converted, this amounts to about 2500 francs, which anywhere in the world is not a small sum. Even in a place like Paris, this money is enough for a lady to live decently for three to four years.
However, this young man seemed completely indifferent to it, a stark contrast to his performance at the tavern that day.
Just how rich does one have to be to spend like him?
Or perhaps, he's just pretending to be wealthy?
It's not impossible, because Clara had seen too many of these types in Paris.
But Clara prided herself on her good judgment of people, and this young man, even if he were an English lord, couldn't possibly be the wealthy kind, because his performance at the tavern that day was so natural, it was not something an inexperienced person could portray.
Clara sarcastically remarked, with some harshness: "Where did you get so much money? Have you paid off your ten thousand francs debt?"
