Explore "The Inner Room" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
It is mine-the little chamber, / Mine alone. / I had it from my forbears / Years agone. / Yet within its walls I see / A most motley company, / And they one and all claim me / As their own.
There's one who is a soldier / Bluff and keen; / Single-minded, heavy-fisted, / Rude of mien. / He would gain a purse or stake it, / He would win a heart or break it, / He would give a life or take it, / Conscience-clean.
