Merriman.
Mr. Worthing went over in the direction of the Rectory some
time ago.
Cecily.
Pray ask the lady to come out here; Mr. Worthing is sure to
be back
soon. And you can bring tea.
Merriman.
Yes, Miss. [Goes out.]
Cecily.
Miss Fairfax! I suppose one of the many good elderly women who
are associated with Uncle Jack in some of his philanthropic
work in
London. I don’t quite like women who are interested in philanthropic
work. I think it is so forward of them.

Cecily.
[Advancing to meet her.] Pray let me introduce myself to you. My
name is Cecily Cardew.
Gwendolen.
Cecily Cardew? [Moving to her and shaking hands.] What a
very sweet name! Something tells me that
we are going to be great
friends. I like you already more than I can say. My first impressions of
people are never wrong.
