The Devils Foot by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle audio books - A gathering at the villa at Tredannick Wartha is discovered in disarray, some dead, the others driven mad, seeming at the sight of something so horrible their minds could not withstand what their eye
Written by: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Read by: David Ian Davies
The Devils Foot by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle audio book
Watson lays out the truth behind the infamous Cornish Horror case, which begins in 1897 as Holmes is recuperating from a grueling onslaught of difficult cases. A gathering at the villa at Tredannick Wartha is discovered in disarray, some dead, the others driven mad, seeming at the sight of something so horrible their minds could not withstand what their eyes beheld.
Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves in Cornwall one spring for the former’s health, but the holiday ends with a bizarre event. Mr. Mortimer Tregennis, a local gentleman, and Mr. Roundhay, the local vicar, come to Holmes to report that Tregennis’s two brothers have gone mad, and his sister has died. Tregennis had gone to visit them in their village (Tredannick Wollas), played whist with them, and then left. When he came back this morning, he found them still sitting in their places at the table, the brothers, George and Owen, laughing and singing, and the sister, Brenda, dead. The housekeeper had discovered them in this state, and fainted. The vicar has not been to see yet. Tregennis says that he remembers one brother looking through the window, and then he himself turned to see some “movement” outside.
