Abstract
My sister Alma1 spent 18792 in America, and in Colorado, of all places, had an amusing encounter with Oscar Wilde, whom she had previously met in our house in London, and who had then reached Denver in the course of a lecturing tour through the United States. The lecture habit was already ‘going strong’ in America in those days.

NOTES
This date is apparently wrong as Wilde lectured in Denver, Colorado, on 12 and 15 April 1882. See Lloyd Lewis and Henry Justin Smith, ‘Oscar Wilde in Denver’, Harper’s Magazine, CLXXI (Nov 1935) 686–96.
