It is always difficult--indeed, almost impossible--to set down an accurate record of the more painful events of one's life. The temptation is either to overdramatise in retrospect, or to record merely the bare bones of experience, avoiding the emotions involved.

When I wrote and published 'The Adventure of the Final Problem', and later 'The Adventure of the Empty House', I deliberately adopted the latter policy. But then I had no intention of presenting an accurate record; merely one that would satisfy the public. Even as it was, there were glaring loopholes which I had great difficulty in explaining.

Now that I come to tie up the loose ends, as it were, I will have to guide against overdoing the pathos. I hope that my future readers will forgive me; it has been a long time, in an inhospitable social climate.

John H. Watson, M.D

London, 1907
