Excerpt from The Dorrington Deed-Box I shall here set down in language as simple and straightforward as I can command, the events which followed my recent return to England; and I shall leave it to others to judge whether or not my conduct has been characterised by foolish fear and ill-considered credulity. At the same time I have my own Opinion as to What would have been the behaviour of any other man of average intelligence and courage in the same circumstances; more especially a man of my exceptional upbringing and retired habits.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ...The next best man is Lant--the new fellow, you know--who rides for the 'Avalanche' people." "Let's see, they're going to the public as a limited company, aren't they?" Dorrington asked casually. Stedman nodded, with a little grimace. "You don't think it's a good thing, perhaps," Dorrington said, noticing the grimace. "Is that so?" "Well," Stedman answered, "of course I can't say. I don't know much about the firm--nobody does, as far as I can tell--but they seem to have got a business together in almost no time; that is, if the business is as genuine as it looks at first sight. But they want a rare lot of capital, and then the prospectus--well, I've seen more satisfactory ones, you know. I don't say it isn't all right, of course, but still I shan't go out of my way to recommend any friends of mine to plunge on it." "You won't?" "No, I won't. Though no doubt they'll get their capital, or most of it. Almost any cycle or tyre company can get subscribed just now. And this 'Avalanche' affair is both, and it is so well advertised, you know. Lant has been winning on their mounts just lately, and they've been booming it for all they're worth. By Jove, if they could only screw him up to win the fifty miles on Saturday, and beat our man Gillett, that would give them a push! Just at the correct moment too. Gillett's never been beaten yet at the distance, you know. But Lant can't do it--though, as I have said, he'll make some fast riding--it'll be a race, I tell you!" "I should like to see it." "Why not come? See about it, will you? And perhaps you'd like to run down to the track after dinner this evening and see our man training--awfully interesting, I can tell...

Morrison (1863-1945) was an English writer and journalist. In 1897 he wrote a series of stories detailing the exploits of Horace Dorrington, described as "a respected but deeply corrupt private detective" and "a cheerfully unrepentant sociopath who is willing to stoop to theft, blackmail, fraud or cold-blooded murder to make a dishonest penny." Later that same year these stories were published together in book form as The Dorrington Deed-Box.
