How do you choose a husband?
I shall take the first that comes after I have quite made up my mind... After all, a husband is very mich like a house or a horse. You don't take your house because it's the best house in the world, but because just then you want a house. You go and see a house, and if it's very nasty you don't take it. But if you think it will suit pretty well, and if you're tired of looking about for houses, you do take it. That's the way one buys one's horses - and one's husbands. - Violet Effingham
Phineas, Lord Chiltern, and Mr. Kennedy seem to be the main male lovers in this episode. However, they are an absolute contrast to Mr. Grey.
It is not as dramatic, and as spellbinding as "Can You Forgive Her?" but it held my interest and was well-written, of course.
