In the part of this universe that we know there is great injustice,
and often the good suffer, and often the wicked prosper, and one
hardly knows which of those is the more annoying.

He didn't mean it, it was a conventional ironic jest in the nature of after-dinner patter, meant to sound as ghastly as it does. Of course suffering "trumps" prosperity in the "annoyance" column, irrespective of the hour's allocation of good & evil. But the model's goddyscreamy. And this, we know he'd say.
