"I do not make this change because I contemplate retiring from business," said Mrs. Leslie. "I find it necessary to make an extended
stay abroad just at this time. I intend to spend much of my time abroad with Lady Wilde. She has bravely bore these scandals and the public falsehoods
about Oscar Wilde. She has arisen from a sickbed to struggle for him against his traducers and she has the utmost confidence in him, as have all those who
know him so well and love him for his charming personality and his great accomplishments. I think it my duty to comfort Lady Wilde all I can in this time
of trial."
