[Enter **Jack**.] [**Lane** goes out.]
 * Algernon**. How are you, my dear Ernest? What brings you up to town?
 * Jack**. Oh, pleasure, pleasure! What else should bring one anywhere? Eating as usual, I see, Algy!
 * Algernon**. [Stiffly.] I believe it is customary in good society to take some slight refreshment at five o’clock. Where have you been since last Thursday?
 * Jack**. [Sitting down on the sofa.] In the country.

 * Jack**. [Pulling off his gloves.] When one is in town one amuses oneself. When one is in the country one amuses other people. It is excessively boring.
