Explore "The Brigand" by Edgar Wallace on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Brigandage, Mr Newton admitted, must be gentle to be thoroughly effective. Only once in his life did he descend to the other kind, and the memory of Kato and that ill-considered burglary kept him supplied in nightmare material for years afterwards.
The burglary was an error: its consequence almost turned white the hair of one young man. If Mr Newton ever wrote his autobiography he would probably omit all reference to Poltue and his emerald; and to Kato who hated his master.
