The Adventures of Gerard

"Have I ever told you, my friends, the circumstances connected with my joining the Hussars of Conflans at the time of the siege of Saragossa and the very remarkable exploit which I performed in connection with the taking of that city?

No? Then you have indeed something still to learn. I will tell it to you exactly as it occurred. Save for two or three men and a score or two of women, you are the first who have ever heard the story." Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic "The Adventures of Gerard" originally published in 1903.

A true literary gem.
