Excerpt
I, SIR JOHN PRIESTLEY, Knight and M.D., of Berkeley Street, Mayfair, have been asked by one of the most charming of my patients to extract from the diary I have kept for many years certain portions which refer to a mysterious drama which took place in 1872, and in which I played a small but important part. Having satisfied myself that compliance will entail no breach of confidence, I have no hesitation in granting my fair patient’s request, paraphrasing rather than merely transcribing the contents of my note-book, and suppressing all medical technicalities, which would be interesting only to medical men.
