Explanation:

In Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest," Cecily falls for Algernon, who pretends to be Jack's brother, Ernest. In that respect, when Cecily and Gwendolen discover that both of them are engaged to men named Ernest - a name they are both fond of- she appreciates the beauty of Algernon's answer even though she does not really believe him. The reason is that she likes him, although she suspects the reason why he pretended to be her guardian's black sheep brother.
