The Importance of Being Earnest.

Episode four.

Algernon secretly managed to find out the address of Jack's house in the country—the house where he lives with Cecily.

We now join Cecily, a pretty girl of eighteen, and her governess Miss Prism—that's the lady who looks after her, in their garden on a summer's day.

They're studying German grammar, but Cecily seems more interested in the flowers.

Cecily! Leave the flowers. Sit down and we'll look at the German verbs.

But I really don't like German.

Cecily, you know Mr Worthing wants you to improve yourself.
