[...] Oscar Wilde appeared for his public examination in the Bankruptcy Court yesterday. He was brought from Wandsworth prison in
charge of two warders in a private cab. According to an eyewitness of the proceedings he was looking thinner, the fulness of his cheeks had sunk, and his
skin has lost its ruddiness. His lips were less full. His wavy locks had disappeared, but he was not close cropped. His hair, less luxuriant, was combed
straight, and parted at the left side, and on his cheeks was a shadowy little cloud of side whiskers, which became barren as they reached the chin. His
upper lip bore a slight moustache. The contour of his face had gone completely, and the return of nature to the place of art in the cultivation of his
appearance had brought upon him a strikingly close likeness in face, stoop and gait to his brother. The overcoat with velvet collar and the silk hat worn
throughout the famous trial were in the box with him. He placed the hat down on its top on the ledge of the box with something of his old grace, but the
hat had lost its sheen and the coat exhibited creases resulting from being long folded and hung negligently. Wilde's voice had the intonation of old, but
he spoke almost pianissimo, and subdued every disposition to be tempted into paradoxical sentences. "Yes" and "No" almost without variation were his
answers to the official questions put to him.
