“Reformed rakes make the best husbands,"Violet said. "Rubbish and you know it."-Anthony to Violet”

“Reformed rakes often make the best husbands.”

“...they say a reformed roue makes the best husband, but, Oh! Didn't they tell you? Monsters can't be reformed...”

“I know it is a cliché, but reformed rakes do make admirable husbands. Why? First of all, their wild oats are thoroughly sown. The second reason? They know how to please a woman between the sheets.Think about it. After all, that is what made them rakes in the first place.”

“Anthony sneezed and pushed them aside. "Mother, I am trying to have a conversation with the duke."Violet looked at Simon. "Do you want to have this conversation with my son?""Not particularly.""Fine, then. Anthony, be quiet.”
