Studying Earnest

Rehearsals for The Importance of Being Earnest are in full swing. I am in falling in love with Oscar Wilde, and I want to know every little thing about him. Oh, if I only had the time to foster that obsession. For now, I can only study my script when I can, and google Wilde bits during my lunch break. 
I must truly fall in love with my character, Cecily, and make Cecily fall in love with Earnest, who is really Algernon. Oh, it's so complicated, but Emile keeps me company, while I try to study my lines.
 What the crap does Cecily mean in this line?

I obsess over the sound of the words and the way my mouth feels as I try to master the British accent.
"Yoo remigrehting. He has ghone up to bahee yoo droutfit."  ....not quite :/
