He wanted my advice: "Lord Queensberry is annoying me," he said; "I did my best to reconcile him and Bosie.

One day at the Cafe Royal, while Bosie and I were lunching there, Queensberry came in and I made Bosie go over and fetch his father and bring him to lunch with us.

He was half friendly with me till quite recently; though he wrote a shameful letter to Bosie about us.

What am I to do ?" I asked him what Lord Queensberry objected to.
"He objects to my friendship with Bosie." "Then why not cease to see Bosie ?" I asked.
"It is impossible, Frank, and ridiculous; why should I give up my friends for Queensberry ?" "I should like to see Queensberry's letter," I said.

"Is it possible ?" "I'll bring it to you, Frank, but there's nothing in it." A day or two later he showed me the letter, and after I had read it he produced a copy of the telegram which Lord Alfred Douglas had sent to his father in reply.
