Colin has no self of identity and is insecure about the fact Pen is a better writer than him, Anthony instead of going for a woman he desired he went after her sister bc is would be better for his image? Like your family is already very big in the ton, even though he is the lowest level of aristocratiacy he would have been able to marry her and no one would bat an eye. They literally are all whores and treat women horribly until they marry.
