10. Change the following from direct into indirect speech:
Suddenly there came a knock to the door and Dorian heard Lord Henry's voice outside: "My dear boy, I must see you. Let me in at once. I cannot bear your shutting yourself up like this."
Dorian made no answer at first, but then jumped up and unlocked the door.
"I am sorry for it all, Dorian," said Lord Henry, as he entered. "But you must not think too much of it. Tell me, did you see Sibyl Vane after the play was over?"
"Yes, and I was brutal to her, Harry — perfectly brutal. But it is all right now,"
"Ah, Dorian, I am so glad. I was afraid of finding you tearing that nice curly hair of yours."
"I have got through all that," said Dorian, shaking his hand and smiling. "I am perfectly happy now. I want to be good; I can't bear the idea of my soul being so bad and ugly. I shall begin by marrying Sibyl Vane." (After Oscar Wilde)
