Talk:Lady Boyle/@comment-39.251.38.162-20151228165633/@comment-16533050-20160710195345

Being rich through luck and happenstance and maneuvering cleverly in the political arenas are two entirely different things.

The Pendletons were the clever politicals of the conspiracy. The Boyles were merely the bank.

The Lower Watch weren't swayed by loyalty or moving speeches or God & country... they were paid with coin and elixir.

The other aristocrats have zero respect for them and most are there simply for show or wanting handouts. Some even admit to stealing stuff while there! :D

Other members of the conspiracy don't really like them, and remark it is only through luck of the rat lantern crystals being found on their property that they have any wealth.

And even Sokolov's remarks about the Lady Boyle is summed up as "She has a nice ass, and pays the Regent's bills."

So, yeah...
