"Ah! this morning! You have lived since then."<\/p>\n

There came a knock at the door, and the butler entered with a laden tea–tray and set it down upon a small Japanese table. There was a rattle of cups and saucers and the hissing of a fluted Georgian urn. Two globe–shaped china dishes were brought in by a page. Dorian Gray went over and poured out the tea. The two men sauntered languidly to the table and examined what was under the covers.<\/p>\n

"Let us go to the theatre to–night," said Lord Henry. "There is sure to be something on, somewhere. I have promised to dine at White's, but it is only with an old friend, so I can send him a wire to say that I am ill, or that I am prevented from coming in consequence of a subsequent engagement. I think that would be a rather nice excuse: it would have all the surprise of candour."<\/p>\n

"It is such a bore putting on one's dress–clothes," muttered Hallward. "And, when one has them on, they are so horrid."<\/p>\n

"Yes," answered Lord Henry dreamily, "the costume of the nineteenth century is detestable. It is so sombre, so depressing. Sin is the only real colour–element left in modern life."<\/p>\n

"You really must not say things like that before Dorian, Harry."<\/p>\n

"Before which Dorian? The one who is pouring out tea for us, or the one in the picture?"<\/p>\n

"Before either."<\/p>\n

"I should like to come to the theatre with you, Lord Henry," said the lad.<\/p>\n
