"In all my experience along the dirtiest ways of this dirty little world, I have never met with such a thing as a trifle yet." ~ The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins If he was right, here was our quiet English house suddenly invaded by a devilish Indian Diamond—bringing after it a conspiracy of living rogues, set loose on us by the vengeance of a dead man. ~ The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins "Circumstantial evidence," continued the young man, as if he scarcely heard Lady Audley's interruption-"that wonderful fabric which is built out of straws collected at every point of the compass, and which is yet strong enough to hang a man." ~ Lady Audley's Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon Night, the mother of fear and mystery, was coming upon me. ~ The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells The whole scene impressed Venters as a wild, austere, and mighty manifestation of nature. And as it somehow reminded him of his prospect in life, so it suddenly resembled the woman near him, only in her there were greater beauty and peril, a mystery more unsolvable, and something nameless that numbed his heart and dimmed his eye. ~ Riders of the Purple Sage by Zane Grey The past was nothing to her; offered no lesson which she was willing to heed. The future was a mystery which she never attempted to penetrate. The present alone was significant. ~ The Awakening by Kate Chopin Mr. Tulkinghorn, sitting in the twilight by the open window, enjoys his wine. As if it whispered to him of its fifty years of silence and seclusion, it shuts him up the closer. More impenetrable than ever, he sits, and drinks, and mellows as it were in secrecy, pondering at that twilight hour on all the mysteries he knows. ~ Bleak House by Charles Dickens "I now swear, and record the oath on this page, That I nevermore will discuss this mystery with any human creature until I hold the clue to it in my hand. That I never will relax in my secrecy or in my search. That I will fasten the crime of the murder of my dear dead boy upon the murderer. And, That I devote myself to his destruction." ~ The Mystery of Edwin Drood by Charles Dickens "The case has, in some respects, been not entirely devoid of interest." ~ A Case of Identity by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "I can never bring you to realize the importance of sleeves, the suggestiveness of thumb-nails, or the great issues that may hang from a boot-lace." ~ A Case of Identity by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
