From here:
I chose to remain a domiciled taxpayer for a couple of reasons. The main one was that I wanted my children to grow up where I grew up, to have proper roots in a culture as old and magnificent as Britain’s; to be citizens, with everything that implies, of a real country, not…

ALGERNON: If it wasn't my business, I wouldn't talk about it. [Begins to eat muffins].It is very vulgar to talk about one's business. Only people like stockbrokers do that, and then merely at dinner parties.
JACK: How you can sit there, calmly eating muffins, when we are in this horrible trouble, I can hardly make out. You seem to me to be perfectly heartless.
ALGERNON: Well, I can't eat muffins in an agitated manner. The butter would probably get on my cuffs. One should always eat muffins quite calmly. It is the only way to eat them.
JACK: I say it's perfectly heartless your eating muffins at all, under the circumstances.
ALGERNON: When I am in trouble, eating is the only thing that consoles me. Indeed, when I am in really great trouble, as anyone who knows me intimately will tell you, I refuse everything except food and drink. At the present moment I am eating muffins because I am unhappy. Besides, I am particularly fond of muffins. [Rising].
JACK: [Rising]. Well, that is no reason why you should eat them all in that greedy way. [Takes muffins from ALGERNON].
ALGERNON: [Offering teacake]. I wish you would have teacake instead. I don't like teacake.
JACK: Good heavens! I suppose a man may eat his own muffins in his own garden.
ALGERNON: But you have just said it was perfectly heartless to eat muffins.
JACK: I said it was perfectly heartless of you, under the circumstances. That is a very different thing.
ALGERNON: That may be. But the muffins are the same. [He seizes the muffin dish from JACK.]
