THINGS FINANCIAL
BY L. S. D.
The Marquis of Queensberry, Oscar Wilde's accuser, is a rabid Atheist, who imagines that he has a mission to defend the principles of unbelievers wherever he may be. He will rise in his place at a theatre to dispute with the actors if there is anything in the play uncomplimentary to Atheists at large. The Marquis occasionally lectures on various affairs from a Freethinker's point of view. He is from a queer family, and if his son is queer it will surprise nobody, excepting, perhaps, his queerness takes a different complexion from that of his curious relations, the Marquis, Lady Florence Dixie, and others.
