Read the passage from The Importance of Being
Eamest
Lady Bracknell....I think some preliminary inquiry on
my part would not be out of place. Mr. Worthing, is Miss
Cardew at all connected with any of the larger railway
stations in London? I merely desire information. Until
yesterday I had no idea that there were any familles or
persons whose origin was a Terminus.
