Oscar wild wrote this quote. This remark by Lady Bracknell is a pun or a play on words. The first part of her sentence is a normal comment on the death of one of Mr. Worthing 's parents but Lady Bracknell gives the word "lose" a different meaning in the second part. By making Lady Bracknell say this, Oscar Wilde presumably wished to show how snobbish the upper class could be. It is usual in England to say "I have lost my father, friend, or relative."
