Question: who is egeria in the importance of being earnest?
Answer: Egeria is said to have been nymph of water and springs, and an adviser, as well as lover, to the second King of Rome, according to the pagan legend. This would have been quite a saucy, yet, subtle mischievous remark from Chasuble to Prism, who is the epitome of the prudent and prudish woman.
