Read the excerpt from act iii of the importance of being earnest. jack. that is very generous of you, lady bracknell. my own decision, however, is unalterable. i decline to give my consent. lady bracknell. [to cecily.] come here, sweet child. [cecily goes over.] how old are you, dear? cecily. well, i am really only eighteen, but i always admit to twenty when i go to evening parties. lady bracknell. you are perfectly right in making some slight alteration. indeed, no woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. it looks so calculating . . [in a meditative manner.] eighteen, but admitting to twenty at evening parties. well, it will not be very long before you are of age and free from the restraints of tutelage. so i don’t think your guardian’s consent is, after all, a matter of any importance. jack. pray excuse me, lady bracknell, for interrupting you again, but it is only fair to tell you that according to the terms of her grandfather’s will miss cardew does not come legally of age till she is thirty-five. in this excerpt, the victorian social code that stresses the importance of manners is most reflected through jack’s words when he addresses lady bracknell. lady bracknell’s words when she commends cecily for lying. jack’s actions when he declines to consent to the marriage. lady bracknell’s actions when she speaks in a “meditative manner.”

Which five sections in this excerpt from the importance of being earnest by oscar wilde show that lady bracknell places utmost importance on wealth and appearances? lady bracknell (sitting down a moment, mr. worthing. a hundred and thirty thousand pounds! and in the funds! miss cardew seems to me a most attractive young lady, now that i look at her. few girls of the present day have any really solid qualities, any of the qualities that last, and improve with time. we live, i regret to say, in an age of surfaces. (to pecily) come over here, dear (cecily goes across.) pretty child! your dress is sadly simple, and your hair seems almost as nature might have left it. but we can soon alter all that a thoroughly experienced french maid produces a really marvellous result in a very brief space of time. i remember recommending one to young lady lancing, and after three months her own husband did not know her. jack: and after six months nobody knew her. lady bracknell (glares at jack for a few moments. then bends, with a practised smile, to cecily) kindly turn round, sweet child. (cecily turns completely round) no, the side view is what i want. (cecily presents her profile.) yes, quite as i expected. there are distinct social possibilities in your profile. the two weak points in our age are its want of principle and its want of profile. the chin a little higher, dear. style largely depends on the way the chin is worn. they are wom very high, just at present. algernon!

Read the excerpt from act iii of the importance of being earnest. lady bracknell. ah! a life crowded with incident, i see; though perhaps somewhat too exciting for a young girl. i am not myself in favour of premature experiences. [rises, looks at her watch.] gwendolen! the time approaches for our departure. we have not a moment to lose. as a matter of form, mr. worthing, i had better ask you if miss cardew has any little fortune? jack. oh! about a hundred and thirty thousand pounds in the funds. that is all. goodbye, lady bracknell. so to have seen you. lady bracknell. [sitting down again.] a moment, mr. worthing. a hundred and thirty thousand pounds! and in the funds! miss cardew seems to me a most attractive young lady, now that i look at her. this excerpt most clearly conveys lady bracknell’s belief that makes someone more desirable.

Read the excerpt from act iii of the importance of being earnest. lady bracknell. [with a shiver, crossing to the sofa and sitting down.] i do not know whether there is anything peculiarly exciting in the air of this particular part of hertfordshire, but the number of engagements that go on seems to me considerably above the proper average that statistics have laid down for our guidance. i think some preliminary inquiry on my part would not be out of place. mr. worthing, is miss cardew at all connected with any of the larger railway stations in london? i merely desire information. until yesterday i had no idea that there were any families or persons whose origin was a terminus. [jack looks perfectly furious, but restrains himself.] how can lady bracknell asking miss cardew (cecily) if she is "at all connected with any of the larger railway stations in london" be seen as a reflection of victorian social codes?
