"I keep a diary in order to enter the wonderful secrets of my life. If I didn’t write them down, I should probably forget all about them." -The Importance of Being Ernest - Act Two

Cecily Cardew: John Worthing's "excessively pretty ward" who is "only just eighteen" in Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Ernest. She is bright, but not very interested in her studies, and imaginitive - so much in fact that she sometimes appears a bit off-balance. Cecily fell immediately in love with Uncle Jack's wicked brother, Ernest, who Algernon Montcreiff, Jack's mischevious friend, impersonates in order to meet her. Of course, he untimately wins her heart, even though his name is not Ernest.

"I don’t like novels that end happily. They depress me so much."

"You are under some strange mistake. I am not little. In fact, I believe I am more than usually tall for my age. But I am your cousin Cecily. You, I see from your card, are Uncle Jack’s brother, my cousin Ernest, my wicked cousin Ernest."

"How thoughtless of me. I should have remembered that when one is going to lead an entirely new life, one requires regular and wholesome meals. Won’t you come in?"

"Oh, I don’t think I would care to catch a sensible man. I shouldn’t know what to talk to him about."

"I delight in taking down from dictation. I have reached ‘absolute perfection’."
