Oscar Wilde: Lady Windermere's Fan1. FIRST ACT (continued)[Exit PARKER C.] LADY WINDERMERE. Arthur, if that woman comes here, I shall insult her. LORD WINDERMERE. Margaret, don't say that. LADY WINDERMERE. I mean it. LORD WINDERMERE. Child, if you did such a thing, there's not a woman in London who wouldn't pity you. LADY WINDERMERE. There is not a GOOD woman in London who would not applaud me. We have been too lax. We must make an example. I propose to begin to-night. [Picking up fan.] Yes, you gave me this fan to-day; it was your birthday present. If that woman crosses my threshold, I shall strike her across the face with it. LORD WINDERMERE. Margaret, you couldn't do such a thing. LADY WINDERMERE. You don't know me! [Moves R.] [Enter PARKER.] Parker! PARKER. Yes, my lady. LADY WINDERMERE. I shall dine in my own room. I don't want dinner, in fact. See that everything is ready by half-past ten. And, Parker, be sure you pronounce the names of the guests very distinctly to-night. Sometimes you speak so fast that I miss them. I am particularly anxious to hear the names quite clearly, so as to make no mistake. You understand, Parker? PARKER. Yes, my lady. LADY WINDERMERE. That will do! [Exit PARKER C.] [Speaking to LORD WINDERMERE] Arthur, if that woman comes here--I warn you - LORD WINDERMERE. Margaret, you'll ruin us! This is page 18 of 69.
