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
matter. This afternoon during my temporary absence in
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
to tea, and devoured every single muffin.

Oscar Wilde
