Why did Archibald Cunningham wish to have sexual relations with Mary?


He did not seem to care for her, and there seemed to be little if not any romantic chemistry between the two of them.

Only to shame and provoke Rob Boy and force him into the open. Cunningham had no more interest in Mary than that. To Betty, the poor girl who loved and became pregnant and repudiated by him, he responded when she told him that 'Love is a dunghill and he the cock that crows from atop it'. He had no respect for women

Droll humor; I love it.
