Question

A giant in stature, with long hair, wearing a bottle
green fur lined overcoat and round seal skin cap on
his head, Oscar Wilde arrived in New York on 2nd of
January 1882 on a lecture tour. He was mobbed by
reporters who asked him (much to his irritation)
unimportant questions such as how he liked his eggs
fried? How he trimmed his finger nails? And what
temperature he preferred his bath to be? His
answers showed a total lack of interest.
However, when he stepped ashore, the customs
official asked, “Have you anything to declare?” and
with customary style. Wilde replied, “No, I have
nothing to declare (pause) except my genius.” Few
remarks in history have travelled as widely and as
quickly as that one.

1. Mention two details of Oscar’s physical appearance
when he came to New York?
2. Why did he come to New York?
3. Oscar Wilde was not interested in answering the
questions of reporters. Why?
4. What does Oscar Wilde’s answer to the custom
officer’s questions show?
5. Find a word in the passage which means
“exceptional ability in a person”.
