Written during Wilde's trials and contains Egerton's anger at the "hypocrites" who are unfairly treating him. She is angry that those who were his friends when his sexuality was unacknowledged have turned on him when it has become an open fact. She also says she guesses John Lane had to act as he did by withdrawing Wilde's books from his publication, but she is furious at the ramifications that it has had for Aubrey Beardsley, particularly in regard to his dismissal from the Yellow Book.
