To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He certainly was caustic in remarks he made about people when discussing them out of their hear- ing, but I do not think that I ever heard him say an unkind thing to anybody. As to ridi- culing a person's name — ^as he is alleged to have done in this Smith anecdote — it is the very last thing he would have done.

" That was a very vulgar thing to do, " said Oscar; "a man cannot help his name.

I have always disbelieved the following two anecdotes, which appear now and again in the Press and are probably quoted by someone who thinks 292 The Real Oscar Wilde that they do credit to Oscar Wilde's wit and power of repartee.
