Quotes by Charles S. Ricketts (?)

“When in Reading Gaol he told me that the warders in the dock had been gentle and kind, but the visit of the chaplain in his first prison began with these words:

'Mr. Wilde, did you have morning prayers in your house?'

'I am sorry... I fear not.'

'You see where you are now!”
― Charles Ricketts, Recollections of Oscar Wilde
