Appearance

Vincent Huntsbury
Vincent is her husband. During the garden party, he mentions that he gambled away a gift from her father to her dismay, but dismisses her feelings and tells her that he can just buy a new one to replace it. Effie is not sure if he is aware of how he acts towards his wife; she cannot tell if he's oblivious or cruel.

In Chapter 7, he says that Rebecca was so quiet when they initially met, and he was pleased with the match they made. In Chapter 10, his gambling affliction is apparent as he argues with his wife that it's only a bit of spending money and a few harmless games of cards. When she tries to protest, he argues that he is the one who manages their finances and that she shouldn't worry about it.

Your Character
You meet Rebecca at the garden party, and you earn her approval by acting with decorum. In Chapter 10, if you tell her that she needs to be firm with him about his gambling, she politely thanks you but says it is a private matter that she doesn't wish to discuss.

Amelia Hayes
If you earn her approval at the garden party, she describes Amelia as "very popular" and recounts a story about a time when Amelia got into an argument with her husband because he was talking over her and Amelia came to her defense. She also states they attended (as well as everyone present at the garden party) the debutante ball that night in London and saw Amelia there.
