VERTUEUSE ANGLETERRE
M. Oscar Wilde n’est qu’au début de ses tribulations. En renonçant aux poursuites pour calomnies qu’il intentait au marquis de Queensberry, il s’est reconnu coupable, et le voilà pris dans un nouveau procès, plus pénible pour lui que le premier.
Mais ce n’est pas seulement ce principal accusé que la justice se propose de déshabiller devant tout le monde ; elle recherche aussi ses complices, gens de peu d’importance, et ses pareils dont il est possible que la qualité, le nombre et le rang fassent parler l’Europe entière.
A cet égard, il convient d’attendre les révélations retentissantes qui paraissent imminentes.
VIRTUOUS ENGLAND
Mr. Oscar Wilde is only at the beginning of his tribulations. By renouncing the lawsuits for slander which he brought against the Marquess of Queensberry, he recognized himself guilty, and here he was caught up in a new trial, more painful for him than the first.
But it is not only this main defendant that justice proposes to undress in front of everyone; it is also looking for its accomplices, people of little importance, and its like whose quality, number and rank it is possible that the whole of Europe will talk about.
In this respect, it is advisable to await the resounding revelations which seem imminent.
