Mabel Chiltern : Why do you call Lord Goring a good for nothing?
The Earl of 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, he goes to the Opera three times a week, he changes his clothes at least five times a day, and he dines out every night of the season. You don't call that leading an idle life, do you?
