Sherlock Holmes Short Stories · The Yelllow Face - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle · 1 Aug 2026 podcast

Then I rushed up the stairs only to find two other rooms empty and deserted at the top.

There was no one at all in the whole house.

The furniture and pictures were of the most common and vulgar description, save in the one chamber at the window of which I had seen the strange face.

That was comfortable and elegant, and all my suspicions rose into a fierce bitter flame

when I saw that on the mantelpiece stood a copy of a full-length photograph of my wife, which had been taken at my request only three months ago.

I stayed long enough to make certain that the house was absolutely empty.

Then I left it, feeling a weight at my heart such as I had never had before.

My wife came out into the hall as I entered my house,

but I was too hurt and angry to speak with her, and pushing past her I made my way into my study.

She followed me, however, before I could close the door.

"'I am so sorry that I broke my promise, Jack,' said she, "'but if you knew all the circumstances, I am sure that you would forgive me.'

"'Tell me everything, then,' said I.

"'I cannot, Jack, I cannot,' she cried."

"'Until you tell me who it is that has been living in that cottage, and who it is to whom you have given that photograph, there can never be any confidence between us,' said I, and breaking away from her, I left the house.'

That was yesterday, Mr. Holmes, and I have not seen her since, nor do I know anything more about this strange business.

It is the first shadow that has come between us, and it has so shaken me that I do not know what I should do for the best.

Suddenly, this morning, it occurred to me that you were the man to advise me, so I have hurried to you now, and I place myself unreservedly in your hands.

If there is any point which I have not made clear—

Pray question me about it.

But, above all, tell me quickly what I am to do, for this misery is more than I can bear."
