Morning-room in Algernon’s flat in Half-Moon Street. The room is luxuriously and artistically furnished. The sound of a piano is heard in the adjoining room. [**Lane** is arranging afternoon tea on the table, and after the music has ceased, **Algernon** enters.]
 * Algernon**. Did you hear what I was playing, Lane?
 * Lane**. I didn’t think it polite to listen, sir.
 * Algernon**. I’m sorry for that, for your sake. I don’t play accurately - any one can play accurately - but I play with wonderful expression. As far as the piano is concerned, sentiment is my forte. I keep science for Life.
