NO IMPORTANCE

ACT II.

She can't even hear my sermons now. She reads them at home. But she has many resources in herself, many resources.

LADY HUNSTANTON
She reads a good deal, I suppose?

THE ARCHDEACON
Just the very largest print. The eyesight is rapidly going. But she's never morbid, never morbid.

GERALD
[To LORD ILLINGWORTH.] Do speak to my mother, Lord Illingworth, before you go into the music-room. She seems to think, somehow, you don't mean what you said to me.

MRS. ALLONBY
Aren't you coming?

LORD ILLINGWORTH
In a few moments. Lady Hunstanton, if Mrs. Arbuthnot would allow me, I would like to say a few words to her, and we will join you later on.
