Her concern with a party instead of Mr. Bunbury’s health.

Explanation:

Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Ernest" is a farcical comedy that also deals with the frivolous issues that the society cares about. The character of Lady Bracknell shows the Victorian society's take on the other classes of the society ladder.

The given excerpt shows the scene where Lady Bracknell had asked Algernon to make sure he is not occupied somewhere else at the time of her party. Algernon had always seemed to have an excuse or two for his absences, most of them being regarding an 'imaginary' friend Bunbury, which is unknown by Lady Bracknell. Asking Bunbury to make sure he don't disturb the party for Algernon was required for the party shows Lady Bracknell's ignorance of the health of anyone. For her, the party is more important than the health issues of 'some friend' of Algernon. Wilde characterizes Lady Bracknell as the example of Victorian society's prioritizing frivolous events over that of others, even health issues of a person.
