Algernon.
Well, my own dear, sweet, loving little darling, I really can’t see
why you should object to the name of Algernon. It is not at all a bad
name. In fact, it is rather an aristocratic name.
Half of the chaps who get
into the Bankruptcy Court are called Algernon. But seriously, Cecily . . .
[Moving to her] . . . if my name was Algy, couldn’t you love me?
Cecily.
[Rising.]
I might respect you, Ernest, I might admire your character,
but I fear that I should not be able to give you my undivided attention.
Algernon.
Ahem! Cecily! [Picking up hat.]
Your Rector here is, I suppose,
thoroughly experienced in the practice of all the rites and ceremonials of the
Church?
Cecily.
Oh, yes. Dr. Chasuble is a most learned man.
He has never written a
single book, so you can imagine how much he knows.
