full text: Arthur Conan Doyle: Through the Magic Door ========================================== a machine-readable transcription Version 1.0: 1993-02-08 1.1: 1993-04-07 corrected a number of transcription errors This is a machine-readable transcription of Arthur Conan Doyle's `Through the Magic Door', published by Thomas Nelson and Sons, Ltd.: London, [1919]. It was first published by Smith, Elder & Co.: London, 1907. Transcription principles: ------------------------- The index of the printed text has been deleted as being of fairly little interest for an e-text edition. Each line in the file correspond to a line in the book, except that end-of-line hyphenation has been removed. Page breaks have not been retained. Dropped capitals have been converted to ordinary capitals. The immediately following words in caps have been converted to lower- and upper-case letters as appropriate. Italics have been placed inside underscore characters (_). Three hyphens (---) represent an em dash. Longer sequences of hyphens represent correspondingly longer dashes. Accented characters have been represented by the following encoding: <e'> e acute <e`> e grave <e:> e diaeresis <o^> e circumflex <ae> ae ligature <OE> OE ligature <oe> oe ligature I trust the principles are fairly clear. There is one possible printing error in the book, which has been left uncorrected: 'Paraquay'. The transcription and proof-reading was done by Anders Thulin, Rydsvagen 288, S-582 50 Linkoping, Sweden. Email: ath@linkoping.trab.se. I'd be grateful to learn of any errors you find in the text.

Close the door of that room behind you, shut off with it all the cares of the outer world, plunge back into the soothing company of the great dead, and then you are through the magic portal into that fair land whither worry and vexation can follow you no more. You have left a…
