Explore "The Mystery of Cloomber" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Having thrown this side-light upon my narrative, I can now resume the / statement of my own personal experiences. These I had brought down, as / the reader will doubtless remember, to the date of the arrival of the / savage-looking wanderer who called himself Corporal Rufus Smith. This / incident occurred about the beginning of the month of October, and I / find upon a comparison of dates that Dr. Easterling's visit to Cloomber / preceded it by three weeks or more.
During all this time I was in sore distress of mind, for I had never / seen anything either of Gabriel or of her brother since the interview / in which the general had discovered the communication which was kept up / between us. I had no doubt that some sort of restraint had been placed / upon them; and the thought that we had brought trouble on their heads / was a bitter one both to my sister and myself.
