ā€œI donā€™t see what else there could be to it,ā€ he admitted with a little shrug-for the life of him, he couldnā€™t really imagine what Morganā€™s motives could be other than riding proverbial coattails in a bid for fame. It seemed like the only logical answer he could think of, really; try as he might to think of something else, he just couldnā€™t seem to!
ā€œNow, I admit, I never saw him trail after La Constance,ā€ he continued, as he took another bite of mashed potatoes, chewing thoughtfully before saying,Ā ā€œBut I think we can chalk that up to her being...considerably less open to new company than you are, my dear.ā€Ā 
He smiled slyly and chuckled a bit when he said this, before adding,Ā ā€œLa Constance only welcomes the company of those with...sizable bank accounts, letā€™s say, and the best way to get her to be anything other than cold and dismissive is to flash something sparkly in front of her. Iā€™ve actually seen her smile simply because of the patrons gifted her a new pair of ornate earrings, if you can believe it.ā€
La Constance actually smiling was an unusually creepy sight (he was so used to seeing her scowling unpleasantly that seeing her flash a smile-even a fake one-was disconcerting), but he quickly put that image out of his head as he eyed his slice of cake, saying,Ā ā€œBut Thaddeus Morgan, on an orchestra memberā€™s salary? Heā€™d never be able to afford La Constanceā€™s expensive tastes, so trying to earn a little fame from her is out of the question. So I think that explains why he hasnā€™t been trailing around after her the way he has you.ā€
Emily, comparatively, was a down-to-Earth young woman, who didnā€™t need bottles of champagne on ice or pretty baubles to win her over; no, she was a simple woman when it came to her friendships, and while this was a quality Randall admired in her, he could also see how Morgan might think thatĀ ā€œsimpleā€ meansĀ ā€œeasyā€. It irked him to think so, but he doubted Morgan would get very far in his endeavors.Ā
