Lady Bracknell. That sounds not unsatisfactory. Three addresses always inspire confidence, even in tradesmen. But what proof have I of their authenticity?

Jack. I have carefully preserved the Court Guides of the period. They are open to your inspection, Lady Bracknell.

Lady Bracknell. [Grimly.] I have known strange errors in that publication.

Jack. Miss Cardew’s family solicitors are Messrs. Markby, Markby, and Markby.

What does this excerpt most clearly convey about Lady Bracknell?

She thinks that family background is important.
She believes in the beauty of true love.
