Lord Caversham: Good evening, Lady Chiltern! Has my good-for-nothing young son been here?

Lady Chiltern: [Smiling] I don't think Lord Goring has arrived yet.

Mabel Chiltern: [Coming up to Lord Caversham] Why do you call Lord Goring good-for-nothing?

.....

Lord Caversham: Because he leads such an idle life.

Mabel Chiltern: How can you say such a thing? Why, he rides in the Row at ten o'clock in the morning, goes to the Opera three times a week, changes his clothes at least five times a day, and dines out every night of the season. You don't call that leading an idle life, do you?
