The Importance of Being Earnest Multiple Choice Quiz | 10 Questions

Answer: the smoking room

I'm sorry about the substitution of a 0 for an o . . . the filter dragon seems to have a natural aversion to that word.

Algernon. Bring me that cigarette case Mr. Worthing left in the sm0king-room the last time he dined here.

"Lane. Yes, sir. [Lane goes out.]

"Jack. Do you mean to say you have had my cigarette case all this time? I wish to goodness you had let me know. I have been writing frantic letters to Scotland Yard about it. I was very nearly offering a large reward."

Answer: Tunbridge Wells

"Jack. Well, if you want to know, Cecily happens to be my aunt.

"Algernon. Your aunt!

"Jack. Yes. Charming old lady she is, too. Lives at Tunbridge Wells. Just give it back to me, Algy."

Answer: gold

"Lady Bracknell. It really makes no matter, Algernon. I had some crumpets with Lady Harbury, who seems to me to be living entirely for pleasure now.

"Algernon. I hear her hair has turned quite gold from grief.

"Lady Bracknell. It certainly has changed its colour. From what cause I, of course, cannot say. "

Answer: French songs

"Lady Bracknell. Thank you, Algernon. It is very thoughtful of you. [Rising, and following Algernon.] I'm sure the programme will be delightful, after a few expurgations. French songs I cannot possibly allow. People always seem to think that they are improper, and either look shocked, which is vulgar, or laugh, which is worse.

But German sounds a thoroughly respectable language, and indeed, I believe is so. Gwendolen, you will accompany me."

Answer: Gerald

"Gwendolen. Yes, but men often propose for practice. I know my brother Gerald does. All my lady-friends tell me so."

Answer: Lady Bloxham

"Jack. Well, I own a house in Belgrave Square, but it is let by the year to Lady Bloxham. Of course, I can get it back whenever I like, at six months' notice.

Lady Bracknell. Lady Bloxham? I don't know her.

Jack. Oh, she goes about very little. She is a lady considerably advanced in years."

Answer: apoplexy

"Jack. Oh, before the end of the week I shall have got rid of him. I'll say he died in Paris of apoplexy. Lots of people die of apoplexy, quite suddenly, don't they?

"Algernon. Yes, but it's hereditary, my dear fellow. It's a sort of thing that runs in families. You had much better say a severe chill."

Answer: Politcal Economy

"Miss Prism. I think, dear Doctor, I will have a stroll with you. I find I have a headache after all, and a walk might do it good.

"Chasuble. With pleasure, Miss Prism, with pleasure. We might go as far as the schools and back.

"Miss Prism. That would be delightful. Cecily, you will read your Political Economy in my absence. The chapter on the Fall of the Rupee you may omit. It is somewhat too sensational. Even these metallic problems have their melodramatic side."

Answer: John

"Jack. The Army Lists of the last forty years are here. These delightful records should have been my constant study. (Rushes to bookcase and tears the books out.) M. Generals... Mallam, Maxbohm, Magley, what ghastly names they have - Markby, Migsby, Mobbs, Moncrieff! Lieutenant 1840, Captain, Lieutenant-Colonel, Colonel, General 1869, Christian names, Ernest John. (Puts book very quietly down and speaks quite calmly.) I always told you, Gwendolen, my name was Ernest, didn't I? Well, it is Ernest after all. I mean it naturally is Ernest."

Answer: Laetitia

"Chasuble. (To Miss Prism.) Laetitia! (Embraces her)

"Miss Prism. (Enthusiastically.) Frederick! At last!"
