From Fanny's First Play by Bernard Shaw

Ah, there you go again! In my sense of the word! You believe that my criticism is merely a personal impression; that-- (FANNY: You always said it was.) Pardon me: not on this point. If you had been classically educated-- (FANNY: But I have.) Pooh! Cambridge! If you had been educated at Oxford, you would know that the definition of a play has been settled exactly and scientifically for two thousand two hundred and sixty years. When I say that these entertainments are not plays, I dont mean in my sense of the word, but in the sense given to it for all time by the immortal Stagirite.
