"Flashy," he repeated, rolling his eyes some. Rene could understand wanting to catch attention but, he also understood the art of doing it. He would bet that she did not. Most people believed that to garner attention one had to be fully adorned from head to toe in extravagant garb. However, his mentor, Sor, had taught him otherwise.
'Less is more,' he had always said to Rene. It was about what the wearer chose to accent and not about how much they were wearing. Granted, Sor was certainly much better at following this practice than Rene. Yet the slave had his own style of combining both extravagance with accenting. He knew what would be best for him, but if he would get it solely depended on whether Georgiana understood the principles of the matter as well.

So to answer your question Mistress, yes where I come from, I did have money, more than you in fact."
