The Yellow Face

by Arthur Conan Doyle

Overview

One of Doyle's sentimental pieces, The Yellow Face is remarkable in that Holmes' deduction during the course of it proves incorrect. (Nevertheless, the truth still comes out.) According to Dr. Watson:

"...where he failed it happened too often that no one else succeeded... Now and again, however, it chanced that even when he erred the truth was still discovered."

It has been remarked Doyle's sympathetic treatment of interracial marriage could be considered extraordinarily liberal.
