Really, if the lower orders don’t set us a good example, what on earth is the use of them? They seem, as a class, to have absolutely no sense of moral responsibility” (p.3) ]]> 2023-02-10 08:06:01 UTC https://padlet.com/siril_sather_farestrand/zli0pg9627ctub0j/wish/2476098573 siril_sather_farestrand https://padlet.com/siril_sather_farestrand/zli0pg9627ctub0j/wish/2476098929 Jack: “I am in love with Gwendolen.

And as a high moral tone can hardly be said to conduce very much to either one’s health or one’s happiness if carried to excess, in order to get up to town I have always pretended to have a younger borther of the anem of Ernest...who gets into the most dreadful scrapes. The, my dear Algy, is the whole truth pure and simple.”

Algernon: “The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility” (p. 9)]]> 2023-02-10 08:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/siril_sather_farestrand/zli0pg9627ctub0j/wish/2476099556 siril_sather_farestrand https://padlet.com/siril_sather_farestrand/zli0pg9627ctub0j/wish/2476099967 Gwendolen: “Even before I met you I was far from indifferent to you...my ideal has always been to love some one of the name of Ernest.

Cecily is not a silly romantic girl, I am glad to say. She has got a capital appetite, goes long walks, and pays no attention at all to her lessons” (p. 75) ]]> 2023-02-10 08:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/siril_sather_farestrand/zli0pg9627ctub0j/wish/2476100327 https://padlet.com/siril_sather_farestrand/zli0pg9627ctub0j/wish/2481763767 Gwendolen: [...] Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out. (p.25)
