Abstract
Very early one very cold May morning my husband, I, and several other friends drove from our house in Deanery Street to meet Oscar at the house in Bloomsbury of the Rev. Stuart Headlam. The drawing-room was full of Burne Jones and Rossetti pictures, Morris wallpaper and curtains, in fact an example of the decoration of the early ’eighties, very beautiful in its way, and very like the aesthetic rooms Oscar had once loved.
‘Reminiscences’, Letters to the Sphinx from Oscar Wilde (London: Duckworth, 1930) pp. 44–7. Editor’s title.
