The Mystery Solved?

I find it interesting that you question the intentions of Mr. Wilcox while his son Charles seems to do the same with Margaret. He is utterly convinced that she wants nothing more than to aquire Howard's End when, preceding and following their marriage, no mention is made of the estate with regards to the new couple's residence. Additionally, I find Mr. Wilcox to be much more than "a poor man" and Margaret knows that, as he owns numerous estates. He is an odd man, much like the other members of his family. As for the kiss, there is a huge connection between the happenings of  Paul and Helen with Margaret and Mr. Wilcox. In the same manner that the former couple rushed into a relationship, Mr. Wilcox rushed into his first kiss. He also was very quick to call off the engagement once Margaret learned of his errrr, "relationship" with Jacky, the former prostitute and current wife of Leonard Blast. I don't know how I feel about this guy yet.
