This guy is just so...uhg. It's especially annoying that he's getting irritated/surprised that she would want something in return for his already obnoxious demands. He just told her he pretty much used her, doesn't plan to care about her and is going to play around with his mistress and he was expecting she'd be all hunky dory this is what I always dreamed of? Goes to show how selfish and self-centered he is. Is he supposed to find out Lizzie is a better person, fall for her, and then become a better guy so we all forget that he used her because it was more convenient/advantageous than to fight the political system to make his mistress queen?
