I actually recently read this one and I sort of felt like it was, well, pretty progressive for the time?

Like, there is absolutely no doubt that we're supposed to see the men who were plotting to force Violet to marry one of them as bad people. Even the man who had a change of heart because he genuinely fell for Violet was punished for his part in the plot.

I get the impression from a lot of the short stories that ACD really hated the idea of a woman "belonging" to a man just because he had feelings for her. By modern standards it can get pretty cringey, but for the time it was written it was pretty forward-thinking.
