Miss fairfax ever since I met you
I have admired you more than any girl
I have ever met since
I met you
Yes
My ideal has always been to love some one of the name of ernest
There is something in that name that inspires absolute confidence
The moment algernon first mentioned to me
That he had a friend called ernest
I knew I was destined to love you
You really love me gwendolen
Passionately
Darling
My own ernest
But you don't really mean to say that you couldn't love me
If my name wasn't ernest
But your name is ernest
Yes I know it is but supposing it was something else
Do you mean to say you couldn't love me then
Darling
I don't much care about the name of ernest
I don't think the name suits me at all
It suits you perfectly
It is a divine name
It has a music of its own
It produces vibrations
Well
There are lots of other much nicer names
I think jack for instance a charming name
Jack
No there is very little music in the name jack
If any at all indeed it does not thrill it produces absolutely no vibrations
I have known several jacks
The only really safe name is ernest
Gwendolen I must get christened at once
I mean we must get married at once
There is no time to be lost
Married Mr worthing
Well surely you know that I love you
Miss fairfax
I adore you
But you haven't proposed to me yet
May I propose now
Yes Mr worthing
I am fully determined to accept you
Gwendolen
Yes Mr worthing
You know what I have got to say to you
Yes but you don't say it
Gwendolen will you marry me
Of course I will darling how long you have been about it
I am afraid you have had very little experience in how to propose
My own one
I have never loved any one in the world but you
Yes but men often propose for practice
I know my brother gerald does all my girl
What wonderfully blue eyes you have ernest
They are quite quite blue I hope you will always look at me just like
That especially when there are other people present
