 The husbands are somewhat chastened to find that their self-righteous suspicions were unfounded; and the couples return to London, none the worse for wear.It can be noted that the play formally maintains conventional morality; none of the married women is actually guilty of adultery, and nobody has sex in the course of the action.The play's risque aspect is more in its tone; in its freewheeling style more than in substance, "Westward Ho" casts a stark light on the society of its day.
