Answer: Lady Brandon's

Lady Brandon had many people over to her house to listen to some pianists. Basil and Dorian made eye contact and there was an instant connection.

3. In chapter three, what is said to be the most lucrative profession in America?

Answer: pork-packers

Answer: Because they are so sentimental.

Sibyl has blonde hair. Lord Henry is spouting his musings on the subject. As he always does.

After ending his romance with Sibyl, Dorian returns to find that the smile on his portrait has become cruel. It was a physical representation of his actions.
8. In chapter 8, what box number belongs to Lord Henry's sister?

Answer: 27

Right after Lord Henry tells Dorian that Sibyl committed suicide, he invites Dorian to the opera. After all, we can't let a little suicide spoil a good opera!

The name of the street was mentioned in the newspaper article. Basil was shocked when he found out that Dorian had not been to the mother's house, but to the opera the night of the suicide.

Answer: St. James Gazette

He sat down to read the "St. James Gazette" and read about her inquest. He seemed untouched as he read about how her body was examined and how no one could explain whether it was accident or murder.
