Misquoted History #2

I’m between jobs at the moment, but I’m spending my free time immersed in factual books at my local library. I’m learning all the time, as you just never know what the next job might require of you. For example, I’m auditioning for a small part in 'An Ideal Husband' next week and my reading up on Oscar Wilde has taught me the following; widely regarded as a genius in the field of spontaneous wit, Wilde actually had a full time ‘editor’ by the name of Gimp on his books. Gimp it was who was responsible for keeping from the world what Wilde actually said at New York Customs in 1882 i.e “I have nothing to declare but my genius…and 400 Marlborough Lights.”
