#014

#014Then a passionate celibacy is all that any of us can look forward to.

#015That is not the destiny I propose for Gwendolen. Algernon, of course, can choose for himself.

#016[Pulls out her watch.] Come, dear, [Gwendolen rises] we have already missed five, if not six, trains.

#017To miss any more might expose us to comment on the platform.

#018[Enter Dr. Chasuble.]

#019Everything is quite ready for the christenings.

#020The christenings, sir! Is not that somewhat premature?

#021[Looking rather puzzled, and pointing to Jack and Algernon.] Both these gentlemen have expressed a desire for immediate baptism.

#022At their age? The idea is grotesque and irreligious!

#023Algernon, I forbid you to be baptized. I will not hear of such excesses.

#024Lord Bracknell would be highly displeased if he learned that that was the way in which you wasted your time and money.

#025Am I to understand then that there are to be no christenings at all this afternoon?

#026I don’t think that, as things are now, it would be of much practical value to either of us, Dr. Chasuble.
