These lines describe Jack's hypocritical judgment of Algernon.

Jack snubs
Algernon's vanity as absurd. He wants to say that Algernon's excessive pride in his
own appearance invites derision for others. He says so because Algernon always
claims to be "over dressed" and "immensely over-educated". He also spurns
Algernon's behaviour disdainfully. He calls his behaviour an extremely strong
reaction of anger, shock and indignation. Moreover, he is not happy at all to have
Algernon in his "garden". He wants to get rid of him as soon as possible. When
Algernon says that he is going to stay for a whole week as Jack's guest, Jack replies,
"You are certainly not staying with me for a whole week as a guest or anything else.
You have got to leave by the four-five train." He ironically says that Algernon will
have an enjoyable journey back to his town. In short, these lines express Jack's
disdain and contempt for the decorative bachelor, Algernon.
