NO IMPORTANCE
ACT II.

when I am with you, Lord Illingworth. Of course, I have had so few advantages. I have not been to Eton or Oxford like other chaps. But Lord Illingworth doesn't seem to mind that. He has been awfully good to me, mother.

MRS. ARBUTHNOT
Lord Illingworth may change his mind. He may not really want you as his secretary.

GERALD
Mother!

MRS. ARBUTHNOT
You must remember, as you said yourself, you have had so few advantages.

MRS. ALLONBY
Lord Illingworth, I want to speak to you for a moment. Do come over.

LORD ILLINGWORTH
Will you excuse me, Mrs. Arbuthnot? Now, don't let your charming mother make any more difficulties, Gerald. The thing is quite settled, isn't it?
