| Summary | "The Gully of Bluemansdyke, and Other Stories" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a collection of short stories likely written in the late 19th century. The stories delve into themes of crime, mystery, and the human condition, showcasing various characters, including both lawmen and criminals. Among them, the central narrative features the tension surrounding a series of murders and the quest for justice in a colonial setting. The opening of the book introduces a tense atmosphere between two men, old Tom Broadhurst and George Hutton, as they wait for the return of their sons from a mining expedition. As the night progresses and bad weather looms, their concerns escalate, especially when they recall the grim tales of previous unsolved disappearances connected to the road they traveled. The narrative then shifts to the broader community’s reaction when Broadhurst's son does not arrive, leading to a search for truth amid an air of looming dread and hints at the presence of bushrangers. This captivating start sets the stage for stories rich in suspense and moral complexity. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
