John: Why the sudden rush to get rid of me? What are you hiding? (John slowly walks back into the room)
Algernon: I’m expecting Aunt Augusta to arrive soon. And before you ask, no, my dear cousin is not coming with her!
John: Oh dear look at the time I best be going. Give your Aunt my best regards.
Algernon: As insincere as you are John, I shall pass along the message.
John: How grateful I am that you understand me so well! Well good day.
(John exits)
Algernon: Finally that fellow left. Lane! Bring me the cigarette case. Lane: Here you are sir. Would you like me to send this to Mr Worthing?
Algernon: Why ever would you do such a thing? Hand it over. (Brings out his hand) I’ve always liked the look of this case. (Looks at Lane) Don’t judge me Lane, I am merely curious. You may leave.
Lane: Yes sir.
(Lane exits)
(Algernon open the case and begins to read the inscription)
Algernon: “From little Cecily with her fondest love to her dear Uncle John” What a peculiar inscription .This fellows name has always been Earnest Worthing. Who is this John and who is this Cecily? Hmmm I suspect that a bit of Bunburying at play! This shall be interesting. (Pockets the cigarette case and leaves the room)
Mostly apt language choices and shows a clear understanding of the characters motivations.
