What literary device does Wilde use in this passage?
O pun
Algernon. [Raising his hat.] You are my little cousin

Cecily. You are under some strange mistake. I am not
little. In fact, I believe I am more than usually tall for my
age.
- The Importance of Being Earnest,
Oscar Wilde
O paradox
O understatement
