LADY BRACKNELL Can I ask why? Algernon is a fine young man. He has nothing, but he looks everything. What more can a young lady want? JACK I'm sorry. My answer is no. And in the Cardew family, girls are not adults until they are thirty- five. Then they can marry who they like. LADY BRACKNELL That is no problem. Thirty-five is a fine number. I know many ladies, all from the very best families, who have decided to stay thirty-five for years. ALGERNON Cecily, I'll wait for you. You know that I will. CECILY Yes, but I can't wait so long. I don't like waiting. LADY BRACKNELL I see. Well, my dear Mr Worthing, ouldn't you think again, and yes' to the say marriage?
