His death must have been extremely sudden. Algernon (airily): Oh! I killed Bunbury this afternoon. I mean poor Bunbury died this afternoon. Lady Bracknell: What did he die of? Algernon: Bunbury? Oh, he was quite exploded. Lady Bracknell: Exploded! Was he the victim of a revolutionary outrage? I was not aware that Mr. Bunbury was interested in social legislation. If so, he is well punished for his morbidity. Algernon: My dear Aunt Augusta, I mean he was found out! The doctors found out that Bunbury could not live, that is what I mean--so Bunbury died. Lady Bracknell: He seems to have had great confidence in the opinion of his physicians."
