Explore "Big Foot" by Edgar Wallace on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Mr. Gordon Cardew was an omnivorous reader, and since he had retired from the practice of the law, he had devoured more books than the average gentleman's library contains. It was his practice to take a book to bed with him, for he was not the best of sleepers, and to resume in the early hours of the morning where he had left off the night before.
Of late years his studies had been exclusively directed to that department of science, the mention of which never failed to arouse Sooper's derision. Yet anthropology can be a fascinating subject, and the bald records of dead criminals more thrilling than the most modern of romances. Cardew had discovered that not a day passed which did not increase his store of knowledge and widen his outlook upon the criminal, his method and his psychology.
