[Enter ALGERNON.]
CECILY. Here is Ernest.
ALGERNON. [Goes straight over to CECILY without noticing any one
else.] My own love! [Offers to kiss her.]
CECILY. [Drawing back.] A moment, Ernest! May I ask you - are
you engaged to be married to this young lady?
ALGERNON. [Looking round.] To what young lady? Good heavens!
Gwendolen!
CECILY. Yes! to good heavens, Gwendolen, I mean to Gwendolen.
