    Complete figment of a writer's fertile imagination. This never happened. In reality, Queensberry & Wilde did not meet on that opening night.
    Indeed, Queensberry stalked the theatre on the opening night for The Importance of Being Earnest. Alerted by Wilde however, theatre management were able to engage the services of the local constabulary to guard the entrances of the theatre against Queensberry's ingress. Despite some enterprising attempts by Queensberry, the police were successful. Queensberry got bored then, gave it up.

    Whether the actual "bouquet" ever existed is questionable, too. I believe Queensberry was least likely to carry an assortment of vegetables in various stages of decay, dripping smelly, staining liquid uncontrollably - whilst dressed for an evening out. The ninth Marquess of Queensberry was a neat, exacting, polished man. Usually dressed impeccably.

    Then there is the fact that if Bosie relished telling the story - which he did, then it was most likely an embellishing burst of mental window dressing on his part.
