I think it's more along the lines that she's actually taking regular showers.

I went to a high school like Angus'. It was run by Jesuits, and the building was an old Masonic hall, so yeah, the whole secret society thing was right there...
Got a great education, though. And no, my parents were not wealthy, or even from old money, I was on scholarship. I was also the token non-catholic, so I got to run the lights in the auditorium during mass, and I got out of the Advanced Cathechism courses.
No dancing class in high school, though - it was all-boys. So I took dance in college. Actualy, it was called Stage Movement in the Theatre department. Monday and Wednesday was ballet, Tuesday was jazz, Thursday was tap, and Fridays - oh, Friday - was ballroom dancing. Viennese waltz (yes, it's different from a regular walz), Tango, Lindy, Foxtrot... it was a one credit course, and I think I took it four or five times.
And there is an advantage to being a good dancer. I slept with about half the girls in the class, and was propositioned by several of the guys, and it sure wasn't based on looks - I'm short and hairy...
"The best of times" doesn't even begin to describe it!
Tanman:
the town's university does appear to be a Northeastern US private (though liberal) university. It would be unrealistic if there weren't more rich kids.
I went to a so called 'elite boarding school,' but plenty of my former classmates live relatively mundane and unsupported by parents lives. The strings and dissatisfaction that come with meandering through a life planned and not your own can be way less personally rewarding than doing it your own way.
My wife has a friend whose father makes eight figures figures with a fortune five hundred company, but you wouldn't know it by seeing her town house, Toyota and public school attending kids. In fact, very few of her friends know about her family at all. But she's very happy.
The greatest advantage the kids of extremely rich folk have over the rest of us is not "living rich," but having the security and support to live by choice.

Dancing days are here again,
As the summer evenings grow.
I got my flower, I got my power,
I got a woman who knows.

Of these, Angus has… well, he's dancing. Anyway, in lieu of Jeph's announcing a new format, I felt I had to post this.
It could've been worse (think "Happy Feet").
Is it cold in here?:
I don't see much of a career in business or politics for someone so into losing arguments that he voluntarily hangs out with Faye just for the bashing.
