"What a funny little man you are?" These were the now historic words used by Lord Alfred Douglas in reply to his father, the Marquis of Queensberry. So much was elicited by the recent sensational trial of Oscar Wilde. The same remarkable words are found in that remarkable book, "The Green Carnation," and in this case are used by Lord Reggie Hastings. Now, it is rather an open question as to whether Lord Douglas quoted the words of the novelist, or whether the latter utilised the reply made to the Marquis by his prodigal son. That the father fully deserved such an epithet is clearly shown by the fact that he chose to make his own cigarettes, when he could obtain Indian Chiefs at sixpence a packet.
