Reminds me of something I could have read only in graduate school, Henry
Fielding's "Jonathan Wild," l'histoire of a highwayman and whoremonger,
who like Lambert goes to the gallows, though his behavior on way to same
I've either forgotten or is unrecorded. But Wilde, semi-literate while
fancying himself the Great Gentleman, and therefore ever the passionate
letter-writer, commits howling misspellings such as referring to one of
his girlfriends as "adwhorable."
