The land of mist

The great Professor Challenger has been--very improperly and imperfectly--used in fiction. A daring author placed him in impossible and romantic situations in order to see how h...

The love-affair of Enid Challenger and Edward Malone is not of the slightest interest to the reader, for the simple reason that it is not of the slightest interest to the writer...

Enid had stepped into the cab and Malone was following when his name was called and a man came running down the street. He was tall, middle-aged, handsome and well-dressed, with...

The article by the Joint Commissioners (such was their glorious title) aroused interest and contention. It had been accompanied by a depreciating leaderette from the sub-editor...

Malone sat at the side table of the smoking-room of the Literary Club. He had Enid’s impressions of the séance before him--very subtle and observant they were--and he was endeav...

Professor Challenger was in a bad humour, and when that was so his household were made aware of it. Neither were the effects of his wrath confined to those around him, for most...

Professor Challenger was not a man who made friends easily. In order to be his friend you had also to be his dependent. He did not admit of equals. But as a patron he was superb...
