[Chilton had known a lot of malicious people throughout his life, a lot of dark individuals. Hell, he wasn't so light himself -- but his misdeeds paled in comparison to those that others committed in his Baltimore, so he was good only comparatively. And compared to him, Sarissa seemed morally superior.
But not everyone considered morality to be a sliding scale, and that was what baffled him about her.]
Not to invalidate your own feelings about the matter, of course. I am simply offering a different perspective.
