Reformed rakes make the best husbands,"Violet said. "Rubbish and you know it." -Anthony to Violet
Can you imagine a guy breaking into your car, and he steals your guitar case 'cause he thinks it's a guitar, and he gets it home and opens it up and there's a rake inside it, an electric toilet plunger and a dog skull? That actually happened.
The readiness with which women are apt to forgive the men who have deceived other women; and that inconsiderate notion of too many of them that a reformed rake makes the best husband, are great encouragements to vile men to continue their profligacy.
Muck-raker
Every woman is at heart a rake.
He was a rake among scholars, and a scholar among rakes.
Men, some to business, some to pleasure take; But every woman is at heart a rake.
Rakes are more suspicious than honest men.
That dangerous but too commonly received notion, that a reformed rake makes the best husband.
