On TV Tropes I can respect that, but I just don't think his one admitedly sorta semi-noble quality is nearly mitigating enough when stacked up against all his evil, especially since it's not explicitly out of love and he in fact seems to hate it since it keeps him from doing away with someone who pisses him off. And the scene in the grasshopper's lair was really telling about how even his honor and patience has it's limits.

It depends on if there was any witnesses around in the neightborhood when he came to the door. If there weren't, nothing would stop him from just killing her on the spot. But if there were, then lying about being a replacement sitter was more convenient for achieving his goal.
