Krátky popis
A moment before the curtain rises, the Hon. Ernest Woolley drives
up to the door of Loam House in Mayfair. There is a happy smile on
his pleasant, insignificant face, and this presumably means that he
is thinking of himself. He is too busy over nothing, this man about
town, to be always thinking of himself, but, on the other hand, he
almost never thinks of any other person. Probably Ernest's great
moment is when he wakes of a morning and realises that he really is
Ernest, for we must all wish to be that which is our ideal. We can
conceive him springing out of bed light-heartedly and waiting for
his man to do the rest. He is dressed in excellent taste, with just
the little bit more which shows that he is not without a sense of
humour: the dandiacal are often saved by carrying a smile at the
whole thing in their spats, let us say. Ernest left Cambridge the
other day, a member of The Athenaeum (which he would be sorry to
have you confound with a club in London of the same name). He is a
bachelor, but not of arts, no mean epigrammatist (as you shall
see), and a favourite of the ladies. He is almost a celebrity in
restaurants, where he dines frequently, returning to sup; and
during this last year he has probably paid as much in them for the
privilege of handing his hat to an attendant as the rent of a
working-man's flat. He complains brightly that he is hard up, and
that if somebody or other at Westminster does not look out the
country will go to the dogs. He is no fool. He has the shrewdness
to float with the current because it is a labour-saving process,
but he has sufficient pluck to fight, if fight he must (a brief
contest, for he would soon be toppled over). He has a light nature,
which would enable him to bob up cheerily in new conditions and
return unaltered to the old ones. His selfishness is his most
endearing quality. If he has his way he will spend his life like a
cat in pushing his betters out of the soft places, and until he is
old he will be fondled in the process.
