While Taylor took his sentence as […] as an old hand, Wilde was terribly cast down and was in a state of semi-collapse in his cell, prior to his transfer to Pentonville. There he rapidly recovered and something of the jaunty and rather defiant demeanour which he displayed at his first trial reappeared. He to all appearances is reconciled to his fate. His conduct is good; he gives little trouble and abides by the rules, which become less irksome in consequence.
