To enter the contest, just match each quotation from the play to the speaking character. The winner will be randomly selected from all correct responses received by 4 p.m. Tuesday, April 9 11.

  1. A high moral tone can hardly be said to conduce very much to either one’s health or one’s happiness.
  2. I don’t quite like women who are interested in philanthropic work. I think it is so forward of them.
  3. I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
  4. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone.
  5. The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
