I also feel that Tony considers all three of the girls feelings by hiding two of them! This may not have been the best course of action to take, however Tony appeciates completly different qualities in all three so is trying to make up his mind this way.
I think that the group of people most likely to disagree with Tony's actions would be female as I can see it from there point of view and would not like it myself! I think that Milly has strong feelings and the other two are flirting and are not as serious.
Tony is leading the girls on because both Unity and Hannah know he has asked Milly for her hand in marrage.
In the beginning of the story, it goes on to say that two of the three girls get a lift, he doesn't actually ask them, he is just being polite by agreeing to help:Unity says
''My dear tony will you give me a lift home''
How could he possibly say no when he obviously had plenty of time for her. Tony has Milly his intended wife and he should not have worried about giving the other two a lift, so there was no problem with what he was doing. Also he had not planned to come across all three that day, so when he was faced with the situation it was a case of dilema in which he made the wrong decision in hiding the two girls!
Even though he is deceiving by putting two of the three girls in his wagon, it seemed at the time to be the right thing to do however Tony realised in the end it wasn't.
''The truth is,father,ive got rather into a nunny watch'' This means Tony is confused and doesn't know what to do.
Basically, Tony is'nt ready for marriage he still has an eye for the girls.
There are different qualities in all three which he liked so how could he of choosen one at this time. His father said,
''Choose whichever of 'em did not ask to ride with thee''
That did not matter to Tony because he still couldn't make up his mind and I don't blame him! Why should he make up his mind, he obviously likes all three girls but does'nt love any of them. Tony just likes something different about all of them.
I think that a large amount of people would agree with my opinions considering they would read the story once over and see it as we all would at first, that he is thinking about getting married for the wrong reasons. He is not in love with any of them. The story is called the Arch-deceiver, he is not deceiveing but confused and not ready for a serious relationship.
