Book

Doctor Faustus
Author Christopher Marlowe
Category Drama
Published 1590
Excerpt
“MEPH. Now, Faustus, what would’st thou have me to do?
FAUST. I charge thee wait upon me whilst I live,
To do whatever Faustus shall command,
Be it to make the moon drop from her sphere,
Or the ocean to overwhelm the world.
MEPH. I am a servant to great Lucifer,
And may not follow thee without his leave
No more than he commands must we perform.
FAUST. Did not he charge thee to appear to me?
MEPH. No, I came hither of mine own accord.”

The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax
Author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Category Short Story
Published 1911
Excerpt
“But why Turkish?” asked Mr. Sherlock Holmes, gazing fixedly at my boots. I was reclining in a cane-backed chair at the moment, and my protruded feet had attracted his ever-active attention. “English,” I answered in some surprise. “I got them at Latimer’s, in Oxford Street.”Holmes smiled with an expression of weary patience. “The bath!” he said; “the bath! Why the relaxing and expensive Turkish rather than the invigorating home-made article?…”

The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor

Book

The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor
Author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Category Short Story
Published 1892
Excerpt
“The Lord St. Simon marriage, and its curious termination, have long ceased to be a subject of interest in those exalted circles in which the unfortunate bridegroom moves. Fresh scandals have eclipsed it, and their more piquant details have drawn the gossips away from this four-year-old drama. As I have reason to believe, however, that the full facts have never been revealed to the general public, and as my friend Sherlock Holmes had a considerable share in clearing the matter up, I feel that no memoir of him would be complete without some little sketch of this remarkable episode…”

The Crooked Man
Author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Category Short Story
Published 1893
Excerpt
“One summer night, a few months after my marriage, I was seated by my own hearth smoking a last pipe and nodding over a novel, for my day’s work had been an exhausting one. My wife had already gone upstairs, and the sound of the locking of the hall door some time before told me that the servants had also retired. I had risen from my seat and was  knocking out the ashes of my pipe when I suddenly heard the clang of the bell.”

The Hound of Baskervilles
Author
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Category
Short Story
Published
1901
Excerpt
Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he was up all night, was seated at the breakfast table. I stood upon the hearth-rug and picked up the stick which our visitor had left behind him the night before. It was a fine, thick piece of wood, bulbous-headed, of the sort which is known as a “Penang lawyer.” Just under the head was a broad silver band, nearly an inch across. “To James Mortimer, M.R.C.S., from his friends of the C.C.H.,” was engraved upon it, with the date “1884.” It was just such a stick as the old-fashioned family practitioner used to carry- dignified, solid, and reassuring. “Well, Watson, what do you make of it?”

Five Orange Pips

Book

Five Orange Pips
Author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Category Short Story
Published 1891
Excerpt “When I glance over my notes and records of the Sherlock Holmes cases between the years ’82 and ’90, I am faced by so many which present strange and interesting features that it is no easy matter to know which to choose and which to leave. Some, however, have already gained publicity through the papers, and others have not offered a field for those peculiar qualities which my friend possessed in so high a egree, and which it is the object of these papers to illustrate. Some, too, have baffled his analytical skill, and would be, as narratives, beginnings without an ending, while others have been but partially cleared up, and have their explanations founded rather upon conjecture and surmise than on that absolute logical proof which was so dear to him….”

Excerpt
  LIZA. Oh, don't be silly.
  MRS PEARCE. You mustn't speak to the gentleman like 
that.
  LIZA. Well, why wont he speak sensible to me?
  HIGGINS. Come back to business. 
How much do you propose to pay me for the lessons?
  LIZA. Oh, I know what's right. A lady friend of mine 
gets French lessons for eighteen pence an hour from 
a real French gentleman. Well, you wouldn't have the 
face to ask me the same for teaching me my own 
language as you would for French; so I wont give more 
than a shilling. Take it or leave it.
