Mr Ernest worthing is here , sir. Jack comes in. Lane goes out.
How are you, my dear Ernest? What brings you to London?
Oh, pleasure, pleasure! Of course!
Of course! So where have you been all this time?
In the country. Terribly boring, you know. You're eating as usual, I see, algy . But why so many cups? And why cucumber sandwiches? Who's coming to tea?
Oh, only aunt Augusta and gwendolen.
Gwendolen! Wonderful! I'm in love with gwendolen. I've come to London specially to ask Her to marry me.
But you told me that you were here for pleasure! That sounds more like business!
