In the Importance of Being Ernest, Cecily's response when "Ernest" asks is she will marry him is the first one: She says yes because they're already engaged.
"Ernest" actually is surprised to find out that Cecily thinks they are already engaged to be married and not only that, but she reveals that her sustained fascination with "uncle's Jack brother" had moved her to invent a romance between herself and Ernest.
Cecily had created an entire relationship with love letters included (that she herself had written), a ring, a broken engagement, and a reconciliation. All chronically told in her personal diary.
The article you mean is "Repressed Brits, evil Mexicans, Arab villains: why are Hollywood's animated movies full of racist stereotypes?" in The Guardian.
One example of the racial stereotyping is that the characters in the movie which are there for comic relief (so not given roles with a "serious" message) are voiced predominantly by black actors, which replicates the pattern of placing black characters in roles of providing amusement, but which are not treated seriously.
