Cardew's profile.

Algernon. Cecily is the sweetest, dearest, prettiest girl in the
whole world. And I don't care twopence about social possibilities.

Lady Bracknell. Never speak disrespectfully of Society, Algernon.
Only people who can't get into it do that. [To Cecily.] Dear
child, of course you know that Algernon has nothing but his debts to
depend upon. But I do not approve of mercenary marriages. When I
married Lord Bracknell I had no fortune of any kind. But I never
dreamed for a moment of allowing that to stand in my way. Well, I
suppose I must give my consent.

Algernon. Thank you, Aunt Augusta.

Lady Bracknell. Cecily, you may kiss me!

Cecily. [Kisses her.] Thank you, Lady Bracknell.

Lady Bracknell. You may also address me as Aunt Augusta for the
future.

Cecily. Thank you, Aunt Augusta.

Lady Bracknell. The marriage, I think, had better take place quite
soon.

Algernon. Thank you, Aunt Augusta.

Cecily. Thank you, Aunt Augusta.
