Which five sections in this excerpt from The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde show that Lady Bracknell places utmost importance on wealth and appearances?
LADY BRACKNELL (Sitting down again.): A moment, Mr. Worthing. A hundred and thirty thousand pounds! And in the Funds! Miss Cardew
seems to me a most attractive young lady, now that I look at her. Few girls of the present day have any really solid qualities, any of the
qualities that last, and improve with time. We live, I regret to say, in an age of surfaces. (To Cecily.) Come over here, dear. (Cecily goes across.)
Pretty child! your dress is sadly simple, and your hair seems almost as Nature might have left it. But we can soon alter all that. A thoroughly
experienced French maid produces a really marvellous result in a very brief space of time. I remember recommending one to young Lady
Lancing, and after three months her own husband did not know her.
JACK: And after six months nobody knew her.
LADY BRACKNELL (Glares at Jack for a few moments. Then bends, with a practised smile, to Cecily.): Kindly turn round, sweet child. (Cecily
turns completely round.) No, the side view is what I want. (Cecily presents her profile.) Yes, quite as I expected. There are distinct social
possibilities in your profile. The two weak points in our age are its want of principle and its want of profile. The chin a little higher, dear. Style
largely depends on the way the chin is worn. They are worn very high, just at present. Algernon!
