Lot No. 249 Quotes

“He has spoiled my night's reading, and that's reason enough, if there were no other, why I should steer clear of him in the future.”
― Arthur Conan Doyle, Lot No. 249

“It moved in the shadow of the hedge, silently and furtively, a dark, crouching figure, dimly visible against the black background. Even as he gazed back at it, it had lessened its distance by twenty paces, and was fast closing upon him. Out of the darkness he had a glimpse of a scraggy neck, and of two eyes that will ever haunt him in his dreams.”
― Arthur Conan Doyle, Lot No. 249
