He is going to tellus a little bit more about thefascinating history of the Londonand Brighton railway.Dr Long: In the 19th century,London Victoria Station was notone station; it was a terminus for anumber of stations. A group ofdifferent businessmen suggestedsix new routes from London toBrighton. In the end, they built themost expensive and difficult line,but it was also the quickest and themost direct. Over 3,500 men and570 horses were used to build therailway. It took three years tocomplete. You can imagine theexcitement when the first trainarrived in Brighton Railway Stationin 1841.You have to remember that peoplewere travelling more at this timeand, of course, Brighton was a veryfashionable place to visit. In fact,by the 1830s, it was one of the mostpopular seaside towns in Britain.The line was often used by wealthytravellers and tourists who wantedto go to the coast for their holidays.In 1881, the first luxury trainservice, complete with first-classcarriages and its own serving staffwent to Brighton. At this time, theBrighton line was probably themost prestigious and mostrespectable line from VictoriaStation.Page 38 – exercise 6Possible answers.

K E YT OT H EPage 94 – exercise 7Example answers 1 No. We knowAlgernon spends all his money.Lady Bracknell says he has nomoney. He said he had no money inChapter One. It’s not a problembecause he comes from arespectable family. Cecily hasmoney so it isn’t a problem.Algernon would probably live withher. (Cultural Note: until 1870,women’s property became theirhusbands when they married butthis was not the case when theplay was written.) 2 No, shedidn’t. Yes, it’s an example of irony.(If student’s level allows expansion:she behaves like she has money sopeople believe she has moneywhen the opposite is true.) 3 Both.Money is very important. It’s agood reason for Algernon to marryCecily. But respectability is equallyimportant.
