"I didn't know he had such a lonely childhood." Giorno continued. "I assumed children and adults alike were dying to be his friend, especially due to his social status."
"Status?" Jolyne raised a brow. "He rich or something?"
Giorno nodded. "He said his father was very wealthy, and was always able to provide padre with everything he ever needed, but he doesn't flaunt it, if you talk to him, you'll see he's very kind."
"Miss Oliver already honoured me with frequent visits to my cottage. I had learnt her whole character; which was without mystery or disguise: she was coquettish, but not heartless; exacting, but not worthlessly selfish. She had been indulged from her birth, but was not absolutely spoilt. She was hasty, but good-humoured; vain (she could not help it, when every glance in the glass showed her such a flush of loveliness), but not affected; liberal-handed; innocent of the pride of wealth; ingenuous; sufficiently intelligent; gay, lively and unthinking: she was very charming, in short, even to a cool observer of her own sex like me; but she was not profoundly interesting or thoroughly impressive. A very different sort of mind was hers from that, for instance, of the sisters of St. John. Still, I liked her almost as I liked my pupil Adèle: except that for a child whom we have watched over and taught a closer affection is engendered than we can give an equally attractive adult acquaintance."

Fresh Cut Grass: You silly, silly noble. [laughter]
Dorian: It was a real question.

Princess Clara: Toot, are you shoplifting?! That's awful!
Toot: Keep it down, will ya?! I'm not "Daddy's Little Princess" here, I can't afford to pay for this myself!
Princess Clara: You should really give it a try, it's wonderful!

of Drawn Together's "Freaks & Greeks"
of Drawn Together's "Freaks & Greeks"People who were spoiled as children (or are spoiled children) are usually depicted as unpleasant monsters who insist on getting their way always, and for sure they exist but I’ve also met a lot of spoiled people, children or adults, who were super nice and generous because they were brought up with the knowledge that if they let someone else have something or give away one of their possessions they’d just get another one and that carries over into adulthood where they might not get another one but they still don’t feel the same attachment to material things.
