“Except, of course, from Lord Berbrooke.”

What it sounds like
Lord Berbrooke is the exception to her claim that she has no shortage of choices.
What it really means
“Anthony says Daphne has only one proposal, from a man she does not want, so her other suitors do not count yet.”
Said today
“Sure, you have options—except your only actual offer is from Berbrooke.”
What was happening
Daphne points out that she has many choices, but Anthony counters that she has suitors, not proposals. He then singles out Berbrooke as the only man who has actually proposed, undercutting her argument and her independence.
