How He Lied to Her Husband is a one-act play written by George Bernard Shaw. The play revolves around a love triangle between Aurora, her husband Teddy, and her lover Henry. Aurora has been having an affair with Henry and when Teddy finds out, he challenges Henry to a duel. However, instead of fighting, Henry uses his wit and charm to convince Teddy that he was mistaken and that the affair never happened. The play is a satirical take on the Victorian era and its values, particularly the idea of honor and masculinity. It explores themes of deception, love, and societal expectations. The play was first performed in 1904 and has since become a popular piece in the theatrical canon.Now if you only knew the least little thing about the world, Henry, you'd know that in a large family, though the sisters quarrel with one another like mad all the time, yet let one of the brothers marry, and they all turn on their unfortunate sister-in-law and devote the rest of their lives with perfect unanimity to persuading him that his wife is unworthy of him. They can do it to her very face without her knowing it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
