Mr Wilde (1854-1900) was one of the most (in)famous literary names in the London of Churchill’s youth. It was he who once said that “somehow or other, I’ll be famous; and if not famous, I’ll be notorious.” Hope that helps.

Thanks. Sounds like an expression many would have used in one way or the other. —RML
