"When Emma asks Rodolphe for help at the peak of her financial crisis, after refusing the sex for money exchange offered by the wealthy Monsieur Guillaumin, she essentially attempts to initiate a sex-for-money exchange with Rodolphe. She pretends at first to have returned out of love, then when the timing feels right she asks him for money, using an obvious lie about why she needs a loan. She therefore comes across as among the most mercenary of Rodolphe's past mistresses. Rodolphe therefore sees no need to help her, even though he could well afford to lend her enough money to keep her creditors at bay."
