Lady Bracknell

• "It is high time that Mr Bunbury makes up his mind whether he was going to live or die"
• "An engagement should come on a young girl as a surprise, pleasant or unpleasant"
• "Both?...that seems like carelessness"
• "The line is immaterial ...I confess I am somewhat bewildered"
• "A hundred and thirthy thousand pounds! ...a most attractive young lady"
• "No woman should be accurate about her age. It looks calculating"
• (baptism) "The idea is grotesque and irreligious!"
• "produce one parent, of either sex"
• "marry into a cloakroom and form an alliance with a parcel"
