All kinds of stories are circulated about the prison life of Oscar Wilde, including the persistent reports that he is in a state of
mental and physical collapse. The fact is, he is perfectly sound in mind and body. At first he suffered acutely, while Taylor took his sentence as coolly
as an old hand. Wilde was terribly cast down and was in a state or semi-collapse in the cell at Newgate prior to the transfer to Pentonville. There he
rapidly recovered and something of the jaunty rather than the defiant demeanor, which he displayed at the first trial, reappeared. He, to all appearances,
is reconciled to his fate and his conduct is good. He gives little trouble and abides by the rules, which become less irksome in consequence.
