I hope that Dorian Graymarries this girl and worships her for six months. Then he cansuddenly become fascinated by another woman.,'You don't mean a word of that, Harry! I know you don't reallywant Dorian Gray's life to be spoiled. you are much better than youpretend ro be.'Lord Henry laughed.'The reason we all like to think so well ofothers is because we are afraid for ourselves. But here is Dorianhimself. He will tell you more rhan I can.''My dear Harry, my dear Basil, you must both congratulate me!'said the boy, throwing offhis coat and shaking each of his friends'hands.

I cant describe to you what Ifelt at that moment.''Have you seen her today?'asked Lord Henry.Dorian Gray shook his head.'I have left her in Shakespeare'sforest.

I forget a1l your fascinating,terrible ideas.''And those are. . . ?'asked Lord Henry, helping himself to somesalad.'Oh, your ideas about life, your ideas about love, your ideas aboutpleasure. All your ideas, Harry.''Pleasure is the only thing worth having ideas about,' heanswered, in his slow, musical voice.'When we are hrppy we arealways good, but when we are good we are not always happy.''I know what pleasure is,'cried Dorian Gny. 'It is to worshipsomeone.''That is certainly better than when someone worships you.''Harry you are terrible! I don't know why I like you so much.Let us go down to the theatre.'When you see Sibyl you will changeyour ideas.'They got up and put on their coats. The painter was silentand thoughtful. He felt very sad. Dorian Gray would never again beto him all that he had been in the past. Life had come betweenthem.'When he arrived at the theatre it seemed to Hallward that he hadgrown years older.
