The Adventure of Black Peter Quotes


The Adventure of Black Peter Quotes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

It was a long and melancholy vigil, and yet brought with it something of the thrill which the hunter feels when he lies beside the water pool and waits for the coming of the thirsty beast of prey. What savage creature was it which might steal upon us out of the darkness? Was it a fierce tiger of crime, which could only be taken fighting hard with flashing fang and claw, or would it prove to be some skulking jackal, dangerous only to the weak and unguarded? ~ The Adventure of Black Peter


"There can be no question, my dear Watson, of the value of exercise before breakfast." ~ The Adventure of Black Peter
