Cecily.
Of course it was. On the 22nd of last March. You can see the entry if
you like. [Shows diary.] ‘To-day I broke off my engagement with Ernest. I
feel it is better to do so. The weather still continues charming.’
Algernon.
But why on earth did you break it off? What had I done? I had
done nothing at all. Cecily, I am very much hurt indeed
to hear you broke it
off. Particularly when the weather was so charming.
Cecily.
It would hardly have been a really serious engagement if it hadn’t
been broken off at least once. But I forgave you before the week was out.
Algernon.
[Crossing to her, and kneeling.] What a perfect angel you are,
Cecily.
Cecily.
You dear romantic boy. [He kisses her, she
puts her fingers through
his hair.] I hope your hair curls naturally, does it?
