Did you hear what I was playing, Lane? |
00:01:08.720 - 00:01:10.676 |
I didn’t think it polite to listen, sir. |
00:01:10.760 - 00:01:12.675 |
I’m sorry for that, for your sake. |
00:01:12.675 - 00:01:14.308 |
I don’t play accurately —
any one can play accurately — |
00:01:14.560 - 00:01:17.632 |
but I play with wonderful expression. |
00:01:17.720 - 00:01:20.109 |
As far as the piano is concerned, |
00:01:20.200 - 00:01:22.120 |
sentiment is my forte. |
00:01:22.120 - 00:01:24.120 |
I keep science for Life. |
00:01:24.560 - 00:01:25.750 |
Yes, sir. |
00:01:25.750 - 00:01:26.790 |
And, speaking of the science of Life, |
00:01:27.040 - 00:01:29.031 |
have you got the cucumber sandwiches cut for Lady Bracknell? |
00:01:29.120 - 00:01:31.759 |
- Yes, sir
- Oh! |
00:01:31.840 - 00:01:33.990 |
By the way, Lane, |
00:01:35.320 - 00:01:36.594 |
I see from your book that on Thursday night, |
00:01:36.680 - 00:01:38.644 |
when Lord Shoreman and Mr. Worthing were dining with me, |
00:01:38.644 - 00:01:41.090 |
eight bottles of champagne are entered as having been consumed. |
00:01:41.280 - 00:01:44.397 |
Yes, sir; eight bottles and a pint. |
00:01:44.480 - 00:01:46.755 |
Why is it that at a bachelor’s establishment
the servants invariably drink the champagne? |
00:01:46.840 - 00:01:51.197 |
I ask merely for information. |
00:01:51.280 - 00:01:52.918 |
I attribute it to the superior quality of the wine, sir. |
00:01:53.000 - 00:01:56.117 |
I have often observed that in married households |
00:01:56.200 - 00:01:59.112 |
