Juan Guaidó declared that the National Assembly will not participate in the dialogue with Maduro. His reasoning is that it comes to nothing and has already been done "inside and outside Venezuela, in private and in public, alone and with international companions." He says that the result in each case has been more repressive, with Maduro taking advantage of the process to strengthen the dictatorship. Offering as examples Leopoldo Lopez, the detention of Juan Requesens, the exile of Julio Borges, among others, he said that if Maduro really wanted dialogue, he would free the political prisoners.

Although of course acknowledging Bach's talents, he did conclude that Bach, tragically, had fallen "from the natural to the artificial, and from the lofty to the obscure ... one wonders at the painful labor of it all, that nevertheless comes to nothing, since it is at variance with reason." This led to an exchange between Scheibe and Johann Abraham Birnbaum (1702–1748), an admirer of Bach and professor of rhetoric at the University of Leipzig. The exchange did Bach's reputation some good, because Scheibe's prickly tone "everywhere stimulated sympathy for Bach." Scheibe believed that musical talent was inborn, and that the musician could express emotions only by subjecting himself to their influence by the force of his imagination.

A fan of a pretty face, at some point in his London days he fell for a girl on the stage, Joan Valentine, and bombarded her with letters and poetry to little avail, a fact that threatens to cause some embarrassment when he becomes engaged to American heiress Aline Peters. This engagement, miraculous in the eyes of the family, comes to nothing, however, as Freddie invites George Emerson, Aline's other suitor, to Blandings, and loses her to him. Freddie's eye for a pretty girl is once again in evidence in Leave it to Psmith, where he is enamoured of Eve Halliday, another girl he loses to a better man, but in "The Custody of the Pumpkin" he woos and elopes with Aggie Donaldson, daughter of Donaldson the U.S. dog-biscuit king. He moves to America to work for his father-in-law, becoming a successful part of the Dog-Joy empire, only returning occasionally to attend weddings or to push his products in the English market.

Karadoc is also married, to the lovely Mevanwi, and has children; but he sees sex as a nasty business one has to go through in order to have children. Perceval has a long and amusing courtship with Guenièvre’s maid Angharad, but it comes to nothing; he loves Arthur, as is made clear in Livre 4 “L’Habitué” and Livre 2 “Le Tourment II,” though this love does not seem to have a sexual component. Léodagan enjoys lusting after young women but apparently remains faithful to his termagant wife Séli. Lancelot loves Guenièvre but when they finally share a bed he can not figure out how to consummate the relationship. In Livre 5, Yvain has acquired one of Arthur’s cast-off mistresses, but she tells Arthur she refuses to sleep with him because of his crude comments ("La Conspiratrice"). In Livre 4 “Anges et Demons” the enchanter Élias tells Arthur that most of the men in Kaamelott are impotent, but it is not clear who among them would actually want to use Élias’s little blue pills.
