conversations.value: An Ideal Husband: The play opens during a dinner party at the home of Sir Robert Chiltern in London\'s fashionable Grosvenor Square.\nSir Robert, a prestigious member of the House of Commons, and his wife, Lady Chiltern, are hosting a gathering that includes his friend Lord Goring, a dandified bachelor and close friend to the Chilterns, Mabel Chiltern, and other genteel guests.\nDuring the party, mrs Cheveley, an enemy of Lady Chiltern\'s from their school days, attempts to blackmail Sir Robert into supporting a fraudulent scheme to build a canal in Argentina.\nApparently, mrs Cheveley\'s dead mentor and lover, Baron Arnheim, convinced the young Sir Robert to sell him a Cabinet secret, a secret that suggested he buy stocks in the Suez Canal three days before the British government announced its purchase.\nSir Robert made his fortune with that illicit money, and mrs Cheveley has the letter to prove his crime.\nFearing the ruin of both career and marriage, Sir Robert submits to her demands.\nWhen mrs Cheveley pointedly informs Lady Chiltern of Sir Robert\'s change of heart regarding the canal scheme, the morally inflexible Lady Chiltern, unaware of both her husband\'s past and the blackmail plot, insists that Sir Robert renege on his promise.\nFor Lady Chiltern, their marriage is predicated on her having an "ideal husband"—that is, a model spouse in both private and public life that she can worship: thus Sir Robert must remain unimpeachable in all his decisions.\nSir Robert complies with the lady\'s wishes and apparently seals his doom.\nAlso toward the end of Act\xa0I, Mabel and Lord Goring come upon a diamond brooch that Lord Goring gave someone many years ago.\nGoring takes the brooch and asks that Mabel inform him if anyone comes to retrieve it.\nIn the second act, which also takes place at Sir Robert\'s house, Lord Goring urges Sir Robert to fight mrs Cheveley and admit his guilt to his wife.\nHe also reveals that he and mrs Cheveley were formerly engaged.\nAfter finishing his conversation with Sir Robert, Goring engages in flirtatious banter with Mabel.\nHe also takes Lady Chiltern aside and obliquely urges her to be less morally inflexible and more forgiving.\nOnce Goring leaves, mrs Cheveley appears, unexpected, in search of a brooch she lost the previous evening.\nIncensed at Sir Robert\'s reneging on his promise, she ultimately exposes Sir Robert to his wife once they are both in the room.\nUnable to accept a Sir Robert now unmasked, Lady Chiltern then denounces her husband and refuses to forgive him.\nIn the third act, set in Lord Goring\'s home, Goring receives a pink letter from Lady Chiltern asking for his help, a letter that might be read as a compromising love note.\nJust as Goring receives this note, however, his father, Lord Caversham, drops in and demands to know when his son will marry.\nA visit from Sir Robert, who seeks further counsel from Goring, follows.\nMeanwhile, mrs Cheveley arrives unexpectedly and, misrecognised by the butler as the woman Goring awaits, is ushered into Lord Goring\'s drawing room.\nWhile she waits, she finds Lady Chiltern\'s letter.\nUltimately, Sir Robert discovers mrs Cheveley in the drawing room and, convinced of an affair between these two former lovers, angrily storms out of the house.\nWhen she and Lord Goring confront each other, mrs Cheveley makes a proposal.\nClaiming to still love Goring from their early days of courtship, she offers to exchange Sir Robert\'s letter for her old beau\'s hand in marriage.\nLord Goring declines, accusing her of defiling love by reducing courtship to a vulgar transaction and ruining the Chilterns\' marriage.\nHe then springs his trap.\nRemoving the diamond brooch from his desk drawer, he binds it to Cheveley\'s wrist with a hidden lock.\nGoring then reveals how the item came into her possession.\nApparently mrs Cheveley stole it from his cousin, Mary Berkshire, years ago.\nTo avoid arrest, Cheveley must trade the incriminating letter for her release from the bejewelled handcuff.\nAfter Goring obtains and burns the letter, however, mrs Cheveley steals Lady Chiltern\'s note from his desk.\nVengefully she plans to send it to Sir Robert misconstrued as a love letter addressed to the dandified lord.\nmrs Cheveley exits the house in triumph.\nThe final act, which returns to Grosvenor Square, resolves the many plot complications sketched above with a decidedly happy ending.\nLord Goring proposes to and is accepted by Mabel.\nLord Caversham informs his son that Sir Robert has denounced the Argentine canal scheme before the House.\nLady Chiltern then appears, and Lord Goring informs her that Sir Robert\'s letter has been destroyed but that mrs Cheveley has stolen her letter and plans to use it to destroy her marriage.\nAt that moment, Sir Robert enters while reading Lady Chiltern\'s letter, but as the letter does not have the name of the addressee, he assumes it is meant for him, and reads it as a letter of forgiveness.\nThe two reconcile.\nLady Chiltern initially agrees to support Sir Robert\'s decision to renounce his career in politics, but Lord Goring dissuades her from allowing her husband to resign.\nWhen Sir Robert refuses Lord Goring his sister\'s hand in marriage, still believing he has taken up with mrs Cheveley, Lady Chiltern is forced to explain last night\'s events and the true nature of the letter.\nSir Robert relents, and Lord Goring and Mabel are permitted to wed.

  JAMES. Lord Caversham has been waiting some time in the library for Sir Robert. I told him your lordship was here.
  LORD GORING. Really, I don't want to meet my father three days running. It is a great deal too much excitement for any son. I hope to goodness he won't come up. Fathers should be neither seen nor heard. That is the only proper basis for family life. Mothers are different. Mothers are darlings. [Throws himself down into a chair, picks up a paper and begins to read it.]
  LORD GORING. [Throws down paper and rises.] My dear father, when one pays a visit it is for the purpose of wasting other people's time, not one's own.
  LORD CAVERSHAM. [Caustically.] You can have till dinner-time if it would be of any convenience to you.
  LORD GORING. [Airily.] The Times? Certainly not. I only read The Morning Post. All that one should know about modern life is where the Duchesses are; anything else is quite demoralising.

His secretaries open them and hand them to him. I dare not ask the servants to bring me his letters. It would be impossible. Oh! why don't you tell me what to do?
  LORD GORING. Pray be calm, Lady Chiltern, and answer the questions I am going to put to you. You said his secretaries open his letters.

  MABEL CHILTERN. He can be what he chooses. All I want is to be... to be... oh! a real wife to him.
