Everyone seems to be tearing a strip off Bondi, and the amount of hate is disturbing.

34. Many in the moneyed class do groom their daughters

Because to the heads or parents in such families see people, including family members, as something with a cost, an investment.
The cost of raising that baby needs to be made up; if a prospective business partner thinks your eight year old Emmie is cute and wants her to constantly sit next to him, he becomes "Uncle Paul" and she sits next to him.
And she's already learned she's supposed to be nice and polite, or she doesn't get what she wants or needs.
If "Uncle Paul" can get Daddy or Mummy a significant amount of money, power, or advantage, little Emmie is expected to be nicer to "Uncle Paul" - even if it's uncomfortable - or hurts.
Of course Emmie is expected to stay within her class when it comes to exercising her value as she grows up, and her brothers and their friends also expect the same when looking for their partners as they grew up; again -
That particular "class" of people only see $$$$ as value; they know the cost of everything, so items or situations that do not present as expensive have no value.
