Enter Three Of The Wedding Guests

Lord Wilbur-Walled: Capital thing, this wedding business.
Lord James: Not much capital left on completion, I fear.
Lord Harry: Its the price we pay for romanticism I feel.
Lord James: Talk of the ghost.
Lord Harry: You look white as a piece of paper in a snowstorm.
Lord Slimly: Well, I am being the man harried into being married.
Lord Wilbur-Walled: Marriages are made in Heaven. There was a war there once as well.
Lord Slimly: I dout we'll get to the heavenly stage. Lady Hap's far too practical to
encounter that consequence.
Lord Harry: Its good to lower expectations.
Lord James: So as to avoid disappointment?
Lord Harry: No, so that others can feel better about themselves- those adequately married.
Lord Wilbur-Walled: Marriage is only necessary so long as it keeps up the rate for divorce.
Lord Slimly: Of course, divorce is rite out of the question. I'm a one man woman, me..or
should I say a one woman man.
Lord Harry: After you've finished flirting with the whole of the county!
Lord Slimly: Half of those were Darling Bell, two hundred times.
Lord James: I admire you. You know she likes being read Henry James too at bedtime.
Lord Slimly: I know. I've heard its darned difficult. Some sentences last longer than a
page I think.
Lord Harry: It'll test you on catching your breath.
Lord Wilbur-Walled: You won't need any when it comes to not getting a word in edge way.
Lord Slimly: Lady Hap's not like that at all. She protests to finding my conversation quite
the charm.
Lord Harry: Ah, the charm is that the charm wears off.
Lord James: The trick is to get it to shine in the first place. Its the husband's first glory that
the wife compares her disappointment with later.
Lord Slimly: The trick as in the trick's on me then?
Lord Wilbur-Walled: Life or Love's all one trick. We all end up marrying a mirror. Mannerisms,
you know, being so similar between husband and wife.
Lord Slimly: I sometimes fear Lady Hap to be too romantic.
Lord Wilbur-Walled: Oh, romanticism is the search for the self in the eyes of others.
Lord Slimly: Yes, only I being that 'other'. I don't want to disappoint.
Lord Harry: Well, one member of a couple has to.
Lord James: Yo'll be providing her a service.
Lord Slimly: I think she'll prefer a silver service.
Lord Wilbur-Walled: Oh, yo've seen my wedding present have you?
