Plot
"May We Borrow Your Husband?" is the title story of a collection of what Greene termed "comedies of the sexual life." The story is indeed something of a comedy of manners because the lifestyles of a particular class of English society come under the scrutiny of the author. The narrator, as both a novelist and an authority on Rochester, who was noted not only as a poet but also for his scandalous sex life, is an appropriate observer of the events that transpire before his eyes. On one occasion he remarks "You will notice that I play a very unheroic part in this comedy," although he does, in fact, endeavor to prevent what he sees as a potential tragedy and in the course of events falls in love as well.
