| 16894 | Then why did you mention his ugliness, I ask you? |
| 16894 | Then why not cease to see Bosie? |
| 16894 | Then, Oscar,I said,"perhaps you wo n''t mind Shaw hearing what I advise?" |
| 16894 | They are pork- packers, I suppose? |
| 16894 | This is the first time you have told about this second and third assault, is it not? |
| 16894 | Was Taylor at the dinner? |
| 16894 | Was that a reason why you should say the boy was ugly? |
| 16894 | Was that story immoral? |
| 16894 | Was that the reason why you did not kiss him? |
| 16894 | Was there ever any impropriety between you? |
| 16894 | What about the inside of the platter, Oscar? |
| 16894 | What age was he? |
| 16894 | What are you laughing at, Frank? |
| 16894 | What can I do, Frank? |
| 16894 | What could I say, Frank? 16894 What did he give you in return?" |
| 16894 | What do you mean? |
| 16894 | What do you say, Oscar, will you come and try a homely French bourgeois dinner to- morrow evening at an inn I know almost at the water''s edge? 16894 What do you think of this view?" |
| 16894 | What happened? |
| 16894 | What has happened since? |
| 16894 | What is it, Frank? |
| 16894 | What is one to do with such a madman? |
| 16894 | What letters do you mean, Frank? |
| 16894 | What on earth can you see in him to admire? |
| 16894 | What on earth''s the matter? |
| 16894 | What was there in common between you and Charlie Parker? |
| 16894 | What was your connection with Taylor? |
| 16894 | What were the students like in Dublin? |
| 16894 | What''s impossible? |
| 16894 | What''s it all about? |
| 16894 | What''s the matter, Oscar? |
| 16894 | When did you first meet Ernest Scarfe? |
| 16894 | When did you first meet Fred Atkins? |
| 16894 | When did you first meet Mavor? |
| 16894 | When you heard that Taylor was arrested what did you do? |
| 16894 | Where are you going? |
| 16894 | Where did you first meet Parker? |
| 16894 | Who introduced him to you? |
| 16894 | Who is Bosie? |
| 16894 | Why did you mention his ugliness? |
| 16894 | Why did you not answer Miss Travers when she wrote telling you of your husband''s attempt on her virtue? |
| 16894 | Why let your imagination run away with you? |
| 16894 | Why not? |
| 16894 | Why not? |
| 16894 | Why not? |
| 16894 | Yes, Frank, where to? |
| 16894 | Yet you returned again? |
| 16894 | You asked him for money? |
| 16894 | You really would not like the Café Royal? |
| 16894 | You say that the defendant is''not guilty,''and that is the verdict of you all? |
| 16894 | You should have gone,I cried in French, hot with indignation;"why did n''t you go, the moment you came out of the court?" |
| 16894 | You went again and again, did you not? |
| 16894 | Your brother? |
| 16894 | *****"Do n''t you want to make them all speak of you and wonder at you again? |
| 16894 | Again the judge interposed with the probing question:"Did you say anything about chloroform in your pamphlet?" |
| 16894 | Alfred Douglas? |
| 16894 | Almost immediately scandalous stories came into circulation concerning them:"Have you heard the latest about Lord Alfred and Oscar? |
| 16894 | And I went on arguing, if Gattie were right, why_ two_ boys? |
| 16894 | And how can this man have a fair trial now when the papers for weeks past have been filled with violent diatribes against him and his works?" |
| 16894 | And then the last verse would be quoted:--"Divine, do n''t ye think?" |
| 16894 | As we turned into Oakley Street, Oscar said to me:"You are not angry with me, Frank?" |
| 16894 | At the very door Mrs. Jeune came up to me:"Have you ever met Mr. Oscar Wilde? |
| 16894 | Being a little short- sighted, I asked:"Is n''t that Mr. Oscar Wilde?" |
| 16894 | But Carson was not to be warded off; like a terrier he sprang again and again:"Why, sir, did you mention that this boy was extremely ugly?" |
| 16894 | But after all how could he help it? |
| 16894 | But at the time all such matters were lost for me in the questions: would the authorities arrest Oscar? |
| 16894 | But was there a seduction? |
| 16894 | But why not boys of his own class? |
| 16894 | But why on earth did Alfred Douglas, knowing the truth, ever wish you to attack Queensberry?" |
| 16894 | Could anything be done? |
| 16894 | Could more be desired than perfection perfected? |
| 16894 | Did Jesus suffer in vain? |
| 16894 | Did he postpone the sentence in order not to frighten the next jury by the severity of it? |
| 16894 | Did you ever adore any man?" |
| 16894 | Do you happen to know where Erith is?" |
| 16894 | Do you remember Wordsworth speaks''of the wind in the trees''? |
| 16894 | Do you still hold to that assertion?" |
| 16894 | Does not the prospect tempt you?" |
| 16894 | English judges always resent and resist such popular outbursts: why not in this case? |
| 16894 | Examining Oscar as to his letters to Lord Alfred Douglas, Sir Frank Lockwood wanted to know whether he thought them"decent"? |
| 16894 | Foreman:"Or ever contemplated?" |
| 16894 | Frank, would you? |
| 16894 | Gill:"And Lord Queensberry may be discharged?" |
| 16894 | Had he acted out of aristocratic insolence, or was he by any possibility high- minded? |
| 16894 | Had not Wilde also rendered distinguished services to his country? |
| 16894 | Had the police asked for a warrant? |
| 16894 | He must be mad, Frank, do n''t you think? |
| 16894 | He questioned me:"What is the alternative, Frank, the wisest thing to do in your opinion? |
| 16894 | He surprised me by saying:"A year, Frank, they may give me a year? |
| 16894 | Here you have the opportunity of making your name known just as widely; why not avail yourself of it? |
| 16894 | His efforts to collect his ideas were not aided by Mr. Carson''s sharp staccato repetition:"Why? |
| 16894 | His reputation was always rather--''_high_,''shall we call it?" |
| 16894 | How can I get evidence or think in this place of torture? |
| 16894 | How could I verify this impression, I asked myself, so as to warn him effectually? |
| 16894 | How did he know Dogberry and Pistol, Bardolph and Doll Tearsheet? |
| 16894 | I asked him could I charter it? |
| 16894 | I asked, smiling,"or in an article? |
| 16894 | I asked,"any professor with a touch of the poet?" |
| 16894 | I gasped; what had happened? |
| 16894 | I have also got a new sitting- room.... Why are you not here, my dear, my wonderful boy? |
| 16894 | I questioned,"at whose feet you sat?" |
| 16894 | I wonder can I do it in a week, or will it take three? |
| 16894 | If you were in France, everyone would be asking: will he come back or disappear altogether? |
| 16894 | In one hour she would be free of the Thames and on the high seas--(delightful phrase, eh?) |
| 16894 | Is it not dreadful the way they insult the fallen?" |
| 16894 | Is this true, or do you not know of it? |
| 16894 | Mr. Carson:"Of course the costs of the defence will follow?" |
| 16894 | Mr. Justice Wills:"Were you agreed as to the charge on the other counts?" |
| 16894 | My contempt for Courts of law deepened: those twelve jurymen were anything but the peers of the accused: how could they judge him? |
| 16894 | On all sides one was asked:"Have you seen Oscar''s latest?" |
| 16894 | Oscar then rose and asked,"Where shall I be taken?" |
| 16894 | Robert Ross urged him to accept Mathew''s offer; but he would not: why? |
| 16894 | Seeing that I did not respond he challenged me:"What do you think of it?" |
| 16894 | Shall I come to Salisbury? |
| 16894 | Still she could not give him much; the difficulty was only postponed; what was to be done? |
| 16894 | Subtle, was n''t it?" |
| 16894 | Suddenly the younger of the boys asked:"Did you sy they was niked?" |
| 16894 | That is our duty to our neighbour, Frank; but sometimes we mislay it, do n''t we?" |
| 16894 | The issue had narrowed down to terrible straits: would it be utter ruin to Oscar or merely loss of the case and reputation? |
| 16894 | The judge here interposed with the crucial question:"Did you know that you had been violated?" |
| 16894 | The jury having consulted for a few moments, the Clerk of Arraigns asked:"Do you find the plea of justification has been proved or not?" |
| 16894 | The man turned round, recognised Him and said,''I was blind; Thou didst heal me; what else should I do with my sight?''" |
| 16894 | The uncle wonders why Lord Dartmoor wants to marry an American and grumbles about her people:"Has she got any?" |
| 16894 | They allow you books, do n''t they?" |
| 16894 | To my astonishment he faced me and said:"And my sureties?" |
| 16894 | To my surprise he was cold and said, a little bitterly, I thought:"''You seem glad to go?'' |
| 16894 | Was it worth while to stir up all the foul mud again, in order to beat the beaten? |
| 16894 | What am I to do?" |
| 16894 | What can I do?" |
| 16894 | What could I say?" |
| 16894 | What did he mean by saying that Oscar was a"centre of extensive corruption of the most hideous kind"? |
| 16894 | What do I care? |
| 16894 | What was to be done next? |
| 16894 | What was to be done? |
| 16894 | What will this professor of Æsthetics make of it? |
| 16894 | What would people think if they saw you?'' |
| 16894 | What would you give, when a book of yours comes out, to be able to write a long article drawing attention to it in_ The Pall Mall Gazette_? |
| 16894 | Where Whistler had missed the laurel how could he or indeed anyone be sure of winning? |
| 16894 | Where did he get this new knowledge? |
| 16894 | Who had given him the new and precise information? |
| 16894 | Who was inspiring him? |
| 16894 | Why are you alone in London, and when do you go to Salisbury? |
| 16894 | Why did he not tell him his case could not possibly be won? |
| 16894 | Why give up like that? |
| 16894 | Why had he taken the risk? |
| 16894 | Why had not Mr. Carson put some of the young men he spoke of in the box? |
| 16894 | Why is Pears''soap successful? |
| 16894 | Why not? |
| 16894 | Why on earth did Sir Edward Clarke not advise Oscar in this way weeks before? |
| 16894 | Why should I belabour the beaten? |
| 16894 | Why should I cringe to this madman?" |
| 16894 | Why should any taste be ostracised? |
| 16894 | Why? |
| 16894 | Wilde rose and cried,"Can I say anything, my lord?" |
| 16894 | Will civilisation never reach humane ideals? |
| 16894 | Will men always punish most severely the sins they do not understand and which hold for them no temptation? |
| 16894 | Willie''s friend seemed amused at the lyrical outburst of the green spinster, for smiling a little she questioned him:"''Speranza''is Lady Wilde?" |
| 16894 | Would Sir Edward Clarke fight the case as it should be fought? |
| 16894 | Would he be able to do that? |
| 16894 | Would he bridle his desires, live savingly, and write assiduously till such repute came as would enable him to launch out and indulge his tastes? |
| 16894 | Would he put Taylor in the box? |
| 16894 | Would the huntsman give the word? |
| 16894 | Would vanity do anything? |
| 16894 | Would you in your position as editor of_ The Fortnightly_ come and give evidence for me, testify for instance that''Dorian Gray''is not immoral?" |
| 16894 | You''ve never seen the mouth of the Thames at night, have you? |
| 16894 | and declare his own mission?" |
| 16894 | half the possible sentence: the middle course, that English Judges always take: the sort of compromise they think safe?" |
| 16894 | or will he manifest himself henceforth in some new comedies, more joyous and pagan than ever?" |
| 16894 | or would they allow him to escape? |
| 16894 | why did you add that?") |
| 16894 | why? |
| 38916 | These youths were much inferior to you in station? |

| 38916 | 1 that you can not agree as to any of those subdivisions?" |
| 38916 | AVORY.--"Did he give you money?" |
| 38916 | AVORY.--"Did you visit Wilde on your return?" |
| 38916 | AVORY.--"Have you met Lord Alfred Douglas?" |
| 38916 | AVORY.--"How old are you?" |
| 38916 | AVORY.--"What is your business?" |
| 38916 | AVORY.--"Who introduced you to Wilde?" |
| 38916 | AVORY.--"You are doing nothing now?" |
| 38916 | AVORY.--"You returned to London with Wilde?" |
| 38916 | AVORY.--"You told Wilde on one occasion while in Paris that you had spent the previous night with a woman?" |
| 38916 | AVORY.--"You went with them?" |
| 38916 | AVORY.--"You were then the best of friends?" |
| 38916 | But after all, what is a paradox if not, for the most part of the time, the exaltation of an idea in a striking and superior form? |
| 38916 | Can Oscar Wilde, who committed moral suicide and made of himself a social pariah, be regarded as a sane man? |
| 38916 | Could the man capable of this atrocity possess a normal mind? |
| 38916 | Did Burton extort money from these gentlemen?" |
| 38916 | Did he know what the end to it all would be? |
| 38916 | Did not the landlady actually come into the room and see you and the gentleman naked on or in the bed together?" |
| 38916 | Did the witness Mavor write you expressing a wish to break off the acquaintance?" |
| 38916 | Did they believe that Wilde was actuated by charitable motives or by improper motives? |
| 38916 | Did your friendly relations with Mr. Wilde remain unbroken until the time you wrote that letter in March, 1893?" |
| 38916 | Do you know Sidney Mavor?" |
| 38916 | Do you know the name written there?" |
| 38916 | Do you think this line is decent, addressed to a young man? |
| 38916 | For instance:--Is lying a fundamental principle of Art, that is to say, of every art? |
| 38916 | GILL.--"And then?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"And these witnesses have, you say, lied throughout?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"At the trial Queensberry and Wilde you described them as''beautiful poems''?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"Contributors to that journal are friends of yours?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"Did Taylor mention the prisoner Wilde?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"Do you think that an ordinarily- constituted being would address such expressions to a younger man?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"I believe that Lord Alfred Douglas was a frequent contributor?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"In fact, it was their first meeting, was it not?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"In one of the sonnets by Lord A. Douglas a peculiar use is made of the word''shame''?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"Is it true or false?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"More drink was offered you there?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"Of Atkins?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"Of Shelley?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"Of what nature was the conversation?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"On one occasion you proceeded from Kettner''s to Wilde''s house?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"So you would prefer puppies to dogs, and kittens to cats?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"The gentleman--''of position''--who gave the dinner was quite a young man, was he not?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"The poems in question were somewhat peculiar?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"The tone of them met with your critical approval?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"Was Taylor, and Wilde also, present?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"What did Taylor say?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"What did he say?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"What happened during dinner?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"What happened there?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"What significance would you attach to the use of that word in connection with the idea of the poem?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"Where did you first meet Wilde?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"Where did your last interview take place?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"Where else have you been with Wilde?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"Where else have you visited this man?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"Who made the fourth?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"Why did you take up with these youths?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"Why should he have written it if your conduct had altogether been blameless?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"With your consent?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"You are acquainted with a publication entitled''The Chameleon''?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"You are fortunate-- or shall I say shameless? |
| 38916 | GILL.--"You can, perhaps, understand that such verses as these would not be acceptable to the reader with an ordinarily balanced mind?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"You exalt youth as a sort of God?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"You have attended to the evidence of the witness Mavor?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"You have heard the evidence of the lad Charles Parker?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"You made handsome presents to these young fellows?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"You never suspected the relations that might exist between Taylor and his young friends?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"You saw nothing peculiar or suggestive in the arrangement of Taylor''s rooms?" |
| 38916 | GILL.--"You were remarkably friendly with the author? |
| 38916 | GRAIN.--"And spent it?" |
| 38916 | GRAIN.--"Did Burton go with you?" |
| 38916 | GRAIN.--"Did you ever stay at a place in the suburbs on the South Western Railway with Burton?" |

| 38916 | GRAIN.--"Did you threaten to extort money from him because he had agreed to accompany you home for a foul purpose?" |
| 38916 | GRAIN.--"Do you know that gentleman?" |

| 38916 | GRAIN.--"Since then you have had no occupation?" |
| 38916 | GRAIN.--"Taylor sent or gave you some cheques, I believe?" |
| 38916 | GRAIN.--"Then you never spoke to him?" |
| 38916 | GRAIN.--"Was not a large sum-- about £ 500--paid to you or Burton by that gentleman about this time last year?" |
| 38916 | GRAIN.--"Were they in payment of money you had advanced to him, merely?" |
| 38916 | GRAIN.--"What is your age?" |

| 38916 | Must there be a permanent and necessary divorce between Ethics and Aesthetics? |
| 38916 | Now, is there anything you desire to ask me in reference to the case?" |
| 38916 | Now, tell me, why did you leave the Vigo Street firm of publishers?" |

| 38916 | Sir EDWARD CLARKE.--"When were you seen in the country in reference to this case?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"About two years ago, did you and someone else go to the Victoria Hotel with two American gentlemen?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"After that letter?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"And have you remained well ever since?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"And you found two letters in one of the pockets?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Anyone else?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Are you sure there was no quarrel between you and Burton at Nice?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"As a matter of fact, you have had no respectable work for over three years?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"At any rate you were taken to Rochester Road, and the gentleman went with you?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"At the police- station the gentleman refused to prosecute?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"But you have been in the habit of accusing other gentlemen of the same offence?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Did any impropriety ever take place between you and Wilde?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Did not you, in conjunction with Allen, succeed in getting £ 300 from a gentleman?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Did the Birmingham gentleman give to Burton a cheque for £ 200 drawn in the name of S. Denis or Denny, your own name?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Did the landlady give you and Burton into custody?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Did you blackmail a gentleman at Nice?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Did you ever see him again after that?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Did you leave the firm of your own accord?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Did you send to Wilde and ask him to bail you out?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Did you state at Bow Street that you received £ 30 not to say anything about a certain case?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Give me the names of two or three of the people whom you have taken home to that address?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Had you seen him before that time?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Have you and this Burton been engaged in the business of blackmailing?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Have you done anything?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Have you ever been to Anderton''s Hotel and stayed a night with a gentleman, whom you threatened the next morning with exposure?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Have you ever lived with a man named Burton?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Have you seen Mr. Wilde since then?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"He introduced you to his home?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"He was kind to you?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"How did the letter begin?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"How did they begin?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"How long had you known him?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"How long were you away?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"How much did you receive?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"I put it to you that your father requested you to leave his house?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"I submit that you blackmail gentlemen?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"In Pimlico?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"In what place was it alleged this happened?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"In what way?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"In your own room at Tatchbrook Street?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"James Burton was living there with you?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Meeting him at the Alhambra, did he accompany you to Tatchbrook Street?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Not in respect to a certain Birmingham gentleman?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Not to accuse him, when there, of attempting to indecently handle you?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"On June 10th, 1891, you were living at Tatchbrook Street?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"So you and Burton were liberated?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"So you left?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"The landlady, perhaps?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Then I ask you if in June,''91, Burton did not take rooms for you in Tatchbrook Street?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Was Burton there?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Was the door locked during the time you describe?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Was the gentleman sober?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Was there no examination before that?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Well, was Burton?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Were you taken to the police station?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"What happened?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"What have you been doing since your return from America?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"What name did Burton use in the ring?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"What room did you go into?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"What was he?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"What was the name of the gentleman?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"What were you and Burton doing at Nice?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"What were you charged with?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"When did the incident occur in consequence of which you received that £ 30?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"When did you go abroad with Burton?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"When did you last go with him abroad?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"When did your mental balance, if I can put it so, recover itself?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Where did you see him?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Where did you stay?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Where had you met him?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Where were you living then?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Where were you taken?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Where?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Which you continued with business in your usual way?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Who called the police?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Who else got any of this money?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Who from?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Who saw you?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Why did you go and dine with Mr. Wilde a second time?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Why?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Yet I find that in January of this year you were in serious trouble?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Yet you say he never practised any actual improprieties upon you?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Yet you separated from this Burton after that visit?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"Yet you wrote him grateful letters breathing apparent friendship?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"You had endeavoured to force money out of this gentleman?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"You have met Lord Alfred Douglas?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"You were arrested for an assault upon your father?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"You were having a holiday?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"You were in bad odour at home too, I think?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"You were in the habit of taking men home with you then?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"You were offered bail?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"You were uneasy in your mind as to Wilde''s object?" |
| 38916 | Sir EDWARD.--"You, and Burton?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK LOCKWOOD.--"Did Charles Mavor stay with you then?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"And a woman''s wig, which afterwards did for Mavor?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"But there were articles of women''s dress at your rooms?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"Did you ever sleep with Mavor?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"Did you induce Mavor to attire himself as a woman?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"Did you induce him to commit a filthy act with you?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"Did you not place a wedding- ring on his finger and go to bed with him that night as though he were your lawful wife?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"Did you tell Parker you did?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"Do you remember going through a form of marriage with Mavor?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"Do you think you understand the word, Sir?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"Have you been in communication with him?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"He has written you letters?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"He visited you?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"How long has he been there?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"How many times have you been in the College Street''snuggery''of the man Taylor?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"I suggest that you often dressed as a woman?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"May we take it that the two letters from you to him were samples of the kind you wrote him?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"On no other occasion?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"Perhaps you wore it?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"Was Lord Alfred in London at the time of the trial of the Marquis of Queensberry?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"Was it made for a woman?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"Were the stains there, Sir?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"What is his age?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"When?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"Who did you meet there?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"Who introduced you to the Parkers?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"Why?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"With regard to the Savoy Hotel Witnesses?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"You deny that the bed- linen was marked in the way described?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"You invited them to your rooms?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"You were acquainted with a young fellow named Mason?" |
| 38916 | Sir FRANK.--"You wore, and caused Mavor afterwards, to wear lace drawers-- a woman''s garment-- with the dress?" |
| 38916 | Sir Frank Lockwood, in cross- examination:"Now, Mr. Wilde, I should like you to tell me where Lord A. Douglas is now?" |
| 38916 | THE JUDGE.--"Is there no prospect of an agreement if you retire to your room?" |
| 38916 | The Interpreter can he be superior to the creator? |
| 38916 | The SOLICITOR GENERAL.--"Nothing in it?" |
| 38916 | The SOLICITOR GENERAL.--"You allowed yourself to be addressed in this strain?" |
| 38916 | The art of Criticism, is it superior to Art? |
| 38916 | These are excentric theories, certainly, but then, what on earth, does it matter about theories? |
| 38916 | WITNESS.--"In what way?" |
| 38916 | Was not the letter which Mavor had addressed to the prisoner, desiring the cessation of their friendship, corrobation? |
| 38916 | Was that statement made?" |
| 38916 | Was that the act of a man who had reason to fear the contents of a letter being known? |
| 38916 | Was the gentleman who gave the dinner of some social position?" |
| 38916 | Were you and Burton ever taken to Rochester Road Police Station?" |
| 38916 | What construction can be put on the line,''I am the love that dare not speak its name''?" |
| 38916 | What matter what the cost is? |
| 38916 | Who did?" |
| 38916 | Wilde?" |
| 38916 | You had threatened to accuse him of a disgusting offence?" |
| 38916 | You say positively that Mr. Wilde committed sodomy with you at the Savoy?" |
| 16895 | ''Why?'' 16895 All her suffering did not endear her to you?" |
| 16895 | And Ellen? |
| 16895 | And Wells? |
| 16895 | And now? |
| 16895 | And so the great romantic passion comes to this tame conclusion? |
| 16895 | And what is such a prejudice? |
| 16895 | And what of your compatriot, George Moore? 16895 And your''Ballad of a Fisher Boy''?" |
| 16895 | Are n''t you a little deaf still? |
| 16895 | Are you talking of Oscar Wilde? |
| 16895 | As I can do no good,I said,"do you mind letting me sleep? |
| 16895 | But I will give you more,I cried,"what will clear you?" |
| 16895 | But if I got you a petition from men of letters, asking you to release Wilde for his health''s sake: would that do? |
| 16895 | But suppose he retorted and said you led him astray, what could I answer? |
| 16895 | But they could give you some cotton wool or something to put in it? |
| 16895 | But why should he have fame and state and power? |
| 16895 | But,I said,"will you?" |
| 16895 | Did you ever care for Hardy? |
| 16895 | Do you believe I should be left to suffer? 16895 Do you know my word for them, Frank? |
| 16895 | Do you know that my wife is dead, Frank? 16895 Do you remember Verlaine, Frank? |
| 16895 | Do you see that? |
| 16895 | Have you consulted a doctor? |
| 16895 | Have you ever learned how wonderful a thing pity is? 16895 Have you written any of it?" |
| 16895 | He is charming, Frank, and well read, and he admires me very much: you wo n''t mind his dining with us, will you? |
| 16895 | He''s got his money back; what more can he want? 16895 How absurd such schools are, are they not?" |
| 16895 | How can you talk of such intimacy as love? 16895 How dared those little wretches condemn me and punish me? |
| 16895 | How did I know how the case would go?... 16895 I do n''t agree with you, Frank,"he said, resenting my tone,"did you notice his eyes? |
| 16895 | I should rebel,I cried;"why do you let it break the spirit?" |
| 16895 | I think, I believe... would another fifty be too much? |
| 16895 | I wonder if any punishment will teach humanity to such people, or understanding of their own baseness? |
| 16895 | I''m sorry,he said, looking for his hat;"will you come out in the morning and see the''gees''?" |
| 16895 | I''ve always wondered why you gave Alexander a play? 16895 If you were justified in coming to me, I should do it; but I am no one; why do n''t you go to Meredith, Swinburne or Hardy?" |
| 16895 | In Naples? |
| 16895 | In notes please, will you? 16895 Is n''t she a dear old lady?" |
| 16895 | Is that what you are suffering from? |
| 16895 | Is there anyone else? |
| 16895 | Is there nothing I can do? |
| 16895 | Is there nothing else I can do? 16895 It is,"I said,"a great scene; why do n''t you write it?" |
| 16895 | May I come in? |
| 16895 | Might he come? |
| 16895 | Now you have talked about romance and companionship,I went on,"but can you really feel passion?" |
| 16895 | Now, Frank, would any girl have come to see you enjoying yourself with other people? 16895 Of course I began to obey him; then I asked:"''What is it? |
| 16895 | Of course,I said,"what is it?" |
| 16895 | Oh, yes, Frank, of course; but how could Shakespeare with his beautiful nature love a woman to that mad excess? |
| 16895 | On Thursday? |
| 16895 | Rather dirty, do n''t you think? |
| 16895 | Really? |
| 16895 | Really? |
| 16895 | Shall we get a boat and row across the bay? |
| 16895 | Surely,I said,"Oscar will not be imprisoned for the full term; surely four or five months for good conduct will be remitted?" |
| 16895 | The first period was the worst? |
| 16895 | The interview is over,I said;"will you take me downstairs?" |
| 16895 | The same champagne, Frank, do n''t you think? |
| 16895 | Then what would you do,asked someone,"about the lower education of man?" |
| 16895 | Then you wo n''t help me for the rest of the winter? |
| 16895 | Then, Frank, you only cared for me in so far as I agreed with you? |
| 16895 | Tired after a mile? |
| 16895 | Vous êtes Jules, n''est- ce pas? |
| 16895 | Was the food the worst of it? |
| 16895 | What about Bernard Shaw? |
| 16895 | What about the verse? |
| 16895 | What about the warders? |
| 16895 | What argument have you against cannibalism; what reason is there why we should not fatten babies for the spit and eat their flesh? 16895 What books have you?" |
| 16895 | What do you mean? |
| 16895 | What do you think has happened, Frank? |
| 16895 | What do you think of Arthur Symons? |
| 16895 | What is it now? |
| 16895 | What is it now? |
| 16895 | What is the matter? |
| 16895 | What on earth do you mean? |
| 16895 | What on earth''s the matter? |
| 16895 | What religion is mine? 16895 What shall we drink?" |
| 16895 | What would you, Frank? 16895 Where are we going? |
| 16895 | Who could resist it, Frank? 16895 Why did he not wait? |
| 16895 | Why do you argue against me, Frank? 16895 Why not?" |
| 16895 | Why was Wilde so good a subject for a biography that none of the previous attempts which you have just wiped out are bad? 16895 Why will you not be frank with me, and tell me what you owe? |
| 16895 | Wo n''t you see what can be done? |
| 16895 | Wo n''t you tell me what you''ve done? |
| 16895 | Would any girl take a parting like that? 16895 You were an intimate friend of his, were you not?" |
| 16895 | You will turn up to- morrow at lunch at one? |
| 16895 | _ Au revoir, n''est- ce pas? 16895 ( you are Jules, are n''t you?) 16895 A day or two later Lord Alfred Douglas told me that he had bought some racehorses and was training them at Chantilly; would I come down and see them? 16895 After all why should anyone help you, if you will not help yourself? 16895 After all, what have they done in comparison with what I have done? 16895 And that I knew that for the future my art and life would be freer and better and more beautiful in every possible way? 16895 Are you sure that will be enough? |
| 16895 | As soon as the means of life were straitened, he became sullen and began reproaching me; why did n''t I write? |
| 16895 | At Wandsworth I thought I should go mad; Wandsworth is the worst: no dungeon in hell can be worse; why is the food so bad? |
| 16895 | At length she began to expatiate on the cheapness of things in France; did Mr. Melmoth know how wonderfully cheap and good the living was? |
| 16895 | Before parting I said to him:"You wo n''t forget that you are going on Thursday night?" |
| 16895 | But I was not angry with him for that, though he might have behaved as well as Wyndham,[29] who owed me nothing, do n''t you think? |
| 16895 | But after all no one can hurt us but ourselves; prison, hard labour, and the hate of men; what are these if they make you truer, wiser, kinder? |
| 16895 | But as soon as I pressed him to write he would shake his head:"Oh, Frank, I can not, you know my rooms; how could I write there? |
| 16895 | But do you really think that you were worthy of the love I was showing you then, or that for a single moment I thought you were? |
| 16895 | But how in that case could Oscar have felt quite safe with you? |
| 16895 | But was n''t it mean of him?" |
| 16895 | But what of defeat? |
| 16895 | But you wo n''t say anything I have said to you, you promise me you wo n''t?" |
| 16895 | By the by, I hear that you have been reconciled to your wife; is that true? |
| 16895 | Can I pay this and get them out? |
| 16895 | Could Oscar Wilde have won and made for himself a new and greater life? |
| 16895 | Could you do the first act?" |
| 16895 | Did I ask you for it at the end? |
| 16895 | Did you lack respect for others? |
| 16895 | Do n''t you think that is all anyone can ask of me?" |
| 16895 | Do you ever think of that? |
| 16895 | Do you know her history?" |
| 16895 | Do you know what Liesse is? |
| 16895 | Do you know, my dear fellow, it was pity which prevented my killing myself? |
| 16895 | Do you mind? |
| 16895 | Do you really mean it?" |
| 16895 | Do you really think that any period of our friendship you were worthy of the love I showed you, or that for a single moment I thought you were? |
| 16895 | Do you remember how Browning''s Sarto defends himself? |
| 16895 | Do you remember how Socrates says he felt when the chlamys blew aside and showed him the limbs of Charmides? |
| 16895 | Do you remember talking to me, Frank, of France?" |
| 16895 | Do you still say, as you said to Robbie in your answer, that I"attribute unworthy motives"to you? |
| 16895 | Do you think I exaggerate? |
| 16895 | Do you think I should dread the issue or allow myself to be silenced by a judge? |
| 16895 | Do you think he could have silenced me? |
| 16895 | Do you think the idea absurd? |
| 16895 | Do you want to know what this new world is? |
| 16895 | Do you want to learn what it was? |
| 16895 | Do you wonder that I can not write, Frank? |
| 16895 | Every day I said to myself,"I must keep love in my heart to- day, else how shall I live through the day?" |
| 16895 | Hammer or anvil-- which? |
| 16895 | Hammer or anvil? |
| 16895 | Has it come to that between you?" |
| 16895 | Have you come to grief through self- indulgence and good- living? |
| 16895 | Have you got my silver spoon[15] from Reggie? |
| 16895 | He has no passion, no feeling, and without passionate feeling how can one be an artist? |
| 16895 | His friends came to me, asking: could anything be done? |
| 16895 | His weakness was pathetic, or was it that his affection was still so great that he wanted to blame himself rather than his friend? |
| 16895 | How can one desire what is shapeless, deformed, ugly? |
| 16895 | How can you have the flower of romance without a brotherhood of soul?" |
| 16895 | How can you idealise it? |
| 16895 | How could I help believing him, how could I keep away from him? |
| 16895 | How could I help feeling sure? |
| 16895 | How could you frighten me as you did? |
| 16895 | How dared they?" |
| 16895 | How else was a silly, narrow judge able to wave you to silence? |
| 16895 | How many names should I get?" |
| 16895 | How would Oscar Wilde take punishment? |
| 16895 | I asked in amazement;"did not call forth that pity in you which you used to speak of as divine?" |
| 16895 | I asked,"or have you learned reason at last?" |
| 16895 | I can understand how you have opened to him a new heaven and a new earth, but what has he given you? |
| 16895 | I could not guess; but then I was often punished for nothing: what was it? |
| 16895 | I do n''t care what they say, I likes him; and he do talk beautiful, sir, do n''t he?" |
| 16895 | I hope you have made it up with her?" |
| 16895 | I laughed;"who has inspired this new devotion?" |
| 16895 | I pray thee speak me sooth What is thy name?" |
| 16895 | I spoke of your conduct to me on three successive days three years ago, did I not? |
| 16895 | I stared at him; I had given him a cheque at the beginning of the dinner: had he forgotten? |
| 16895 | I suppose I said,''Then what on earth has happened to you?'' |
| 16895 | I think he ought to give me that at the very least, do n''t you? |
| 16895 | I want you to have a perfect six months, and how can you if you are bothered with debts?" |
| 16895 | If I go into prison without love, what will become of my soul?" |
| 16895 | If you do n''t bear fruit why should men care for you?" |
| 16895 | Is it my fault? |
| 16895 | Is n''t it extraordinary? |
| 16895 | Is n''t poverty dreadful?" |
| 16895 | It is quite clear that he must adopt orphans, is it not? |
| 16895 | It would not be an avowable reason that we hoped Wilde would write new plays and books, would it? |
| 16895 | MY DEAR FRANK: How are you? |
| 16895 | May I have it again this month? |
| 16895 | My father got into trouble once in Dublin, perhaps you have heard about it?" |
| 16895 | Need I say that this is a miracle? |
| 16895 | Need I tell you what I thought of you during the two lonely wretched days of illness that followed? |
| 16895 | Or did he perchance want to keep the hundred pounds intact for some reason? |
| 16895 | Or have you ever compared the aforesaid First edition with the original? |
| 16895 | Or on my frailties why are frailer spies, Which in their wills count bad what I think good?" |
| 16895 | Oscar stopped on the sidewalk:"And what have I to live for, Bobbie?" |
| 16895 | She wrote again, saying that she had paid £100 for the scenario: would I see Mr. Kyrle Bellew on the matter? |
| 16895 | Suppose I like a food that is poison to other people, and yet quickens me; how dare they punish me for eating of it?" |
| 16895 | Suppose we stop and get some?" |
| 16895 | Suppose you had been Jesus, what religion would you have preached?" |
| 16895 | Surely it is not too much to ask him to give me a tenth when I gave him all? |
| 16895 | Surely you did n''t think him an actor?" |
| 16895 | Surely, I am better worth knowing than Shakespeare?" |
| 16895 | That I recognised that the ultimate moment had come and recognised it as being really a great relief? |
| 16895 | That is the book[6] of pity and of love which I am writing now-- a terrible book...."I wonder would you publish it, Frank? |
| 16895 | That night I said to him:"You know we are going away to- morrow evening: I hope you''ll be ready? |
| 16895 | That you were"very young"when our friendship began? |
| 16895 | The difference was Frank was proud of meeting Balfour while Balfour was proud of meeting me: d''ye see?" |
| 16895 | Then suddenly:"Why do n''t you buy the scenario and write the play yourself?" |
| 16895 | Then why did he allow himself to be hag- ridden to his ruin by such a creature? |
| 16895 | Vous ne m''oublierez pas?..._"As we turned to walk along the boulevard I noticed that the boy, too, had disappeared. |
| 16895 | Was he wrong or was I wrong?" |
| 16895 | Was his punishment making him a little spiteful or was it the temptation of the witty phrase? |
| 16895 | We are fated to suffer, do n''t you think? |
| 16895 | Were you careless of others''sufferings? |
| 16895 | What am I to do?" |
| 16895 | What an absurdity it all was, Frank: how dared they punish me for what is good in my eyes? |
| 16895 | What belief have I? |
| 16895 | What can Americans know about English literature?... |
| 16895 | What can it matter to me whether you write or not? |
| 16895 | What difference is there between one form of sexual indulgence and another? |
| 16895 | What do you know of the average man or of his opinions? |
| 16895 | What had I done? |
| 16895 | What hinders us from indulging in this appetite but prejudice, sacred prejudice, an instinctive loathing at the bare idea? |
| 16895 | What indeed had he to live for who had abandoned all the fair uses of life? |
| 16895 | What is the good of it? |
| 16895 | What right has society to punish us unless it can prove we have hurt or injured someone else against his will? |
| 16895 | What should I do?" |
| 16895 | What sweet is there in its bitter? |
| 16895 | What was the good of me? |
| 16895 | What was there, as a mere matter of fact, in you that I could influence? |
| 16895 | What will you make of it? |
| 16895 | What would he make of two years''hard labour in a lonely cell? |
| 16895 | When are you going to reach that serenity?" |
| 16895 | When he got me three or four paces away he said, hesitatingly:"Frank, could you... can you let me have a few pounds? |
| 16895 | When people asked,''What has Frank Harris been?'' |
| 16895 | When we got into the train again he began:"We stop next at Marseilles, do n''t we, Frank? |
| 16895 | Who shall say they are wrong? |
| 16895 | Who shall sneer at their instinctive repulsion hallowed by ages of successful endeavour?" |
| 16895 | Who would deny to- day that he was a quickening and liberating influence? |
| 16895 | Why ca n''t you?" |
| 16895 | Why did he take my advice, if he did n''t want to? |
| 16895 | Why did n''t I earn money? |
| 16895 | Why do they do it, Frank? |
| 16895 | Why do they want to make my life here one long misery?" |
| 16895 | Why must I take off my boots?'' |
