The new marvels were certainly not stimulated by literary knowledge of the ancient thaumaturgy.

Then, suddenly, I perceived that his forehead was glistening white and wet in the lamplight. "What is it, Raffles? What's the matter?" He reversed his paper with a shaky hand, and thrust it upon me without a word, merely pointing out four or five ill-printed lines of latest news.
