Jack. It pains me very much to have to speak frankly to you, Lady Bracknell, about your nephew, but the fact is
that I do not approve at all of his moral character. I
suspect him of being
untruthful. [Algernon and Cecily look at him in
indignant amazement.]
Lady Bracknell. Untruthful! My nephew
Algernon? Impossible! He is an Oxonian.
Jack. I fear there can be no possible doubt about the

London on an important question of romance, he
obtained admission to my house by means of the false
pretence of being my brotherHe subsequently stayed

Oscar Wilde
