RhACT IV. LORD ILLINGWORTH I will keep it now. And that will show you that I love my son, at least as much as you love him. For when I marry you, Rachel, there are some ambitions I shall have to surrender. High ambitions too, if any ambition is high.

MRS. ARBUTHNOT I decline to marry you, Lord Illingworth.

LORD ILLINGWORTH Are you serious?

MRS. ARBUTHNOT Yes.

LORD ILLINGWORTH Do tell me your reasons. They would interest me enormously.

MRS. ARBUTHNOT I have already explained them to my son. 184
