Reflecting on his calmness, he feels a great pleasure in his double life. Lady Narborough, the hostess, discusses her daughter’s sad scandal-less, country life. Dorian is rather bored at the party, but brightens up when he hears Lord Henry’s voice from the hallway. During the dinner, Dorian finds it impossible to eat. Lord Henry asks what is wrong with him and Lady Narborough suggests that he is in love. Dorian assures her that she is wrong. The party goers talk about marriage and the ladies then leave the men to talk about politics and scandals. Lord Henry and Dorian discuss a party that is to be held on his estate. Lord Henry asks him too about where he was the previous evening, and for the first time in his life, Dorian’s mask cracks. He tries to play it calm, but quickly decides that he is going to go home. When home, he immediately goes to his hiding spot and burns Basil’s belongings. He then goes to his secret draw and takes out some opium before disguising himself in common clothes and making his way to a dodgy part London where he can find opium dens.
