Mr. Erskine, acultured old gentleman, invited Lord Henry to visit his home for further discussions, intrigued by his views on life and pleasure. The lunch came to an end with the ladies departing and Mr. Erskine once again inviting Lord Henry, promising engaging conversations.

As Lord Henry was leaving Aunt Agatha's house to go to the park, Dorian Gray appeared next to him, touching him on his arm. “Can I come with you?” He asked. Lord Henry did not mind. However, he remembered that Dorian had already promised to visit Basil.

“I feel I must come with you,” Dorianstated.
