His extravagant follies were the talk of Paris, and he was nicknamed " Milord l'Arsouille," which, at a rough translation, is equivalent to " My Lord the Scamp." In the film he is depicted as tossing gold in handfuls to the beggars and the rogues in the streets, of dining with servants in the kitchen of the famous Cafe Anglais, of playing practical jokes upon his ragged following by heating in a frying pan the coins to be flung to them, and in fact of being guilty of a thousand and one absurd follies. A little bit of the better man in him is also shown when he makes friends with a young man named Jacques, who, although starving with his sister Marie, refuses to pick up with his lips a bank note tossed on the ground and stamped upon by the young lord. Seymour, whose experiences have taught him all that is to be known of the despicableness of men's hearts, grips the young man by the hand, exclaiming, "At last I have found a man." In the second part of the play Seymour continues his acquaintance with Jacques and Marie, and we find him joining with the people about the time of the restoration of the Empire. He attends meetings in underground cellars, parades the streets with the revolting Parisians, and, lastly leaves the side of Marie, whom he has grown to love tenderly, to fight against the army behind the barricades in the streets. He pays the price of his loyalty to his humble friends, and, with a rose which Marie has given him clenched between his teeth, Milord l'Arsouille dies bravely.
