1 After a pause, Lord Henry pulled out his watch.
2 "You must introduce me now," cried Lord Henry, laughing.
3 Lord Henry stretched himself out on the divan and laughed.
4 Not at all," answered Lord Henry, "not at all, my dear Basil.
5 "Days in summer, Basil, are apt to linger," murmured Lord Henry.
6 This is Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian, an old Oxford friend of mine.
7 And Lord Henry flung himself down on the divan and opened his cigarette-case.
8 "It is your best work, Basil, the best thing you have ever done," said Lord Henry languidly.
9 Lord Henry felt as if he could hear Basil Hallward's heart beating, and wondered what was coming.
10 Lord Henry smiled, and leaning down, plucked a pink-petalled daisy from the grass and examined it.
11 When he caught sight of Lord Henry, a faint blush coloured his cheeks for a moment, and he started up.
12 Lord Henry stroked his pointed brown beard and tapped the toe of his patent-leather boot with a tasselled ebony cane.
13 "You have not spoiled my pleasure in meeting you, Mr. Gray," said Lord Henry, stepping forward and extending his hand.
14 "Yes; she is a peacock in everything but beauty," said Lord Henry, pulling the daisy to bits with his long nervous fingers.

17 "Being natural is simply a pose, and the most irritating pose I know," cried Lord Henry, laughing; and the two young men went out into the garden together and ensconced themselves on a long bamboo seat that stood in the shade of a tall laurel bush.
