Explore "The Mystery of Cloomber" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I, John Fothergill West, student of law in the University of St. Andrews, / have endeavoured in the ensuing pages to lay my statement before the / public in a concise and business-like fashion.
It is not my wish to achieve literary success, nor have I any desire by / the graces of my style, or by the artistic ordering of my incidents, to / throw a deeper shadow over the strange passages of which I shall have / to speak. My highest ambition is that those who know something of the / matter should, after reading my account, be able to conscientiously / indorse it without finding a single paragraph in which I have either / added to or detracted from the truth.
