Playing with Fire (short story)

  • Type: Short Story

Playing with Fire is a 1900 short story by Scottish author, Arthur Conan Doyle. - AsNotedIn

Put down in black and white, my surmise might seem too crude, too grotesque, for serious consideration. And yet that something did occur, and that it was of a nature which will leave its mark upon every one of us for the rest of our lives, is as certain as the unanimous testimony of five witnesses can make it. I will not enter into any argument or speculation.
