She endeavours to be classy in all she thinks, says and does in a fashionably outdated manner - much like a character in a movie or a book - but breaks period by indulging in decidedly modern behaviours. She wears her hair in a art-deco-esque beehive, smokes cigarettes in a holder, speaks with an upper New York accent (even though she is from Jersey), but also likes to "appear" (to the rest of us "hang out") in exclusive cafés and drink lattés, browse makeup sites with her leather bound laptop, and just generally be snooty about coffee. Besides the people who take money from her, no one seems to really care about her (even Mr. Harrison) save Henry, and he is only interested from afar.
