Explore "The Damnation of Theron Ware" by Harold Frederic on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

This relieved him of a certain sense of responsibility, and he retired to a corner sofa and sat down. The detective side of him being off duty, so to speak, there was leisure at last for reflection upon the other aspects of his mission. Yes; it was high time for him to consider what he should do next.
