Sherlock Holmes: "The Adventure of the Yellow Face"

What struck me most about the story was that it was published nearly 120 years ago. Even today, in some quarters, the ending would have been considered scandalous.

I imagine that there were periodicals in this country which refused to publish the story when it was offered to them.

  1. That was the only ending that would make it a love story. Anything else and it would have been a horror story. I am a Sherlock Holmes fan and therefore a Sir Conan Doyle fan as I believe the writer puts himself or herself into the story. This story made me feel good and no other ending could have done that.
    I need that as the daily representation of man by the media and by my own observations leads me to think that man has a terrible cancer.
