#014Mr. Ernest Worthing.
#015Enter LANE.
#016How are you, my dear Ernest?
#017What brings you up to town?
#018Oh, pleasure, pleasure!
#019What else should bring one anywhere?
#020Eating as usual, I see, Algy!
#021I believe it is customary in good society
#022to take some slight refreshment at five o'clock.
#023Where have you been since last Thursday?
#024Stiffly.
#025In the country.
#026Sitting down on the sofa.
#027What on earth do you do there?
#028When one is in town one amuses oneself.
#029When one is in the country one amuses other people.
#030It is excessively boring.
#031Pulling off his gloves.
#032And who are the people you amuse?
#033Oh, neighbours, neighbours.
#034Airily.
#035Got nice neighbours in Shropshire?
#036Perfectly horrid!
#037Never speak to one of them.
#038How immensely you must amuse them!
#039Goes over and takes a sandwich.
