طالبات الفرقة الثالثة الاقتباسات الهامة فى المسرحية الثانية هى ١٠ كما يلى:
3rd year //2nd play 1- algernon i really don't see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing romantic about a definite proposal. Why, one may be accepted. One usually is, i believe. Then the excitement is all over. The very essence of romance is uncertainty. If ever i get married, i'll certainly try to forget the fact. 2- algernon well, my dear fellow, you need not eat as if you were going to eat it all. You behave as if you were married to her already. You are not married to her already, and i don't think you ever will be.

- 3-algernon you have always told me it was ernest. I have introduced you to every one as ernest. You answer to the name of ernest. You look as if your name was ernest. You are the most earnest-looking person i ever saw in my life. It is perfectly absurd your saying that your name isn't ernest. It's on your cards. Here is one of them. [taking it from case.] 'mr. Ernest worthing, b. 4, the albany.' i'll keep this as a proof that your name is ernest if ever you attempt to deny it to me, or to gwendolen, or to any one else. [puts the card in his pocket.] 4- algernon well, that is exactly what dentists always do. Now, go on! Tell me the whole thing. I may mention that i have always suspected you of being a confirmed and secret bunburyist; and i am quite sure
of it now

5-- algernon literary criticism is not your forte, my dear fellow. Don't try it. You should leave that to people who haven't been at a university. They do it so well in the daily papers. What you really are is a bunburyist. I was quite right in saying you were a bunburyist. You are one of the most advanced bunburyists i know. 6- algernon then your wife will. You don't seem to realise, that in married life three is company and two is none

7- gwendolen yes, but men often propose for practice. I know my brother gerald does. All my girl-friends tell me so. What wonderfully blue eyes you have, ernest! They are quite, quite, blue. I hope you will always look at me just like that, especially when there are other people present. [enter lady bracknell.] 8- lady bracknell i am pleased to hear it. I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in england, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in grosvenor square. What is your income

9- cecily well, ever since dear uncle jack first confessed to us that he had a younger brother who was very wicked and bad, you of course have formed the chief topic of conversation between myself and miss prism. And of course a man who is much talked about is always very attractive. One feels there must be something in him, after all. I daresay it was foolish of me, but i fell in love with you, ernest. 10- gwendolen true. In matters of grave importance, style, not sincerity is the vital thing. Mr. Worthing, what explanation can you offer to me for pretending to have a brother? Was it in order that you might have an opportunity of coming up to town to see me as often as possible
