Jack. I’m scared I do not know. The fact is, Woman Bracknell, I said I experienced lost my parents. It would be better the situation to declare that my parents appear to have destroyed me . . . I don’t really know which I am because of the beginning. I found myself . . . better, I happened to be receive.
Jack. The new later Mr. Thomas Cardew, a vintage gentleman away from a very charitable and you will please spirits, located myself, and you can provided me with title from Worthing, due to the fact he occurred to possess a first-classification admission getting Worthing in his pocket at that time.

Jack. [Extremely absolutely.] Yes, Woman Bracknell. I was for the a give-bag-a comparatively highest, black colored leather-based hand-purse, that have covers in order to it-a normal give-purse in fact.
Woman Bracknell. The newest line is actually immaterial. Mr. Worthing, We acknowledge I feel some bewildered about what you’ve just explained.
