| Note | At a party thrown by Lady Windermere, the story’s title-character, Lord Arthur Savile, is introduced to Mr Septimus R. Podgers, a cheiromantist or palm-reader. Podgers reads his palm and recoils when he sees what’s ‘written’ there, and only reluctantly reveals the truth to Lord Arthur: that he is destined to be a murderer. Lord Arthur wants to marry, but believes he cannot in all good conscience do so with his impending fate hanging over him. He decides that the only thing for it is to commit the murder first, before marrying his sweetheart, Sybil Merton |
