Reading edition
Copyright 1927 by The Dial Press, Inc. This edition contains the complete text of the original book.
THE SOLUTION OF THE RIDDLESDALE MYSTERY WITH A REPORT OF THE TRIAL OF THE DUKE OF DENVER BEFORE THE HOUSE OF LORDS FOR MURDER
The inimitable stories of Tong-king never have any real ending, and this one, being in his most elevated style, has even less end than most of them. But the whole narrative is permeated with the odour of joss-sticks and honourable high-mindedness, and the two characters are both of noble birth.
