About this Style Lady Bracknell: I’m sorry if we are a little late, Algernon, but I was obliged to call on dear Lady Harbury. I hadn’t been there since her poor husband’s death. I never saw a woman so altered; she looks quite twenty years younger. And now I’ll have a cup of tea, and one of those nice cucumber sandwiches you promised me. Algernon: Certainly, Aunt Augusta. [Goes over to tea-table.] Algernon: [Picking up empty plate in horror.] Good heavens! Lane! Why are there no cucumber sandwiches? I ordered them specially. Lane: [Gravely.] There were no cucumbers in the market this morning, sir. I went down twice. Algernon: No cucumbers! Lane: No, sir. Not even for ready money. Algernon: That will do, Lane, thank you. Lane: Thank you, sir. [Goes out.] Algernon: I am greatly distressed, Aunt Augusta, about there being no cucumbers, not even for ready money.
