Letters to Conan Doyle
READ HIS OWN TALES.
Dr A. Conan Doyle Gave Selections From Sherlock Holmes.
Association hall was fairly filled last evening at Dr A. Conan Doyle's reading.
His first reading was from "Micah Clarke," and comprised a sketch of the wicked Judge Jeffreys. He next gave a scene from Sherlock Holmes, showing his methods of deduction.
Then came a selection from "The Refugees," giving the story of how Louis XIV read the mail, going out of and coming into the court of Versailles, a most amusing sketch in which the opinions of certain courtiers were freely expressed. The last selection was a little study of old age.
This afternoon Dr Doyle will make his last appearance in Boston, and in addition to reading an unpublished tale, "The Medal of the Brigadier Gerrard," his selections will include, "The Opening of the Bags," "[[The Straggler of Fifteen]]," "Waterloo," "The Hairless Man," and Sherlock Holmes' story of "The Speckled Band."
