Packet 7: Tossup 2

In a play, a general with this name is identified within forty years worth of Army Lists. (15[1])While courting a man (15[2])with this name, a woman declares that this name (15[1])“inspires (15[1])absolute (15[1])confidence.” (15[5])The valet (15[1])Merriman (15[3])is told to “order the dog-cart” for a man who uses this name. (15[2]-5[1])Two characters hope to (15[1])be (15[1])rechristened (15[1])with this name (15[1])after (15[1])meeting with (15[3])(*) Dr. (10[1])Chasuble. One man is unaware that this was his birth name until learning (10[1])that (10[1])he was (10[2])left as a baby in a handbag (10[1])at Victoria Station. (10[4])Jack and Algernon both use this name to woo (-5[1])Cecily (10[1])and Gwendolen. For (10[1])10 points, give this (10[1])name, whose “Importance” (10[1])is (10[1])punned on (10[1])in the title (10[1])of an Oscar Wilde play. ■END■ (10[2])
