A Circumstantial Puzzle

"The almost insuperable difficulty of telling a story with even a grain of truth in it is this—or, I should rather say, the two insuperable difficulties are these—firstly, there is never the faintest dramatic point about really true stories; secondly, if they are worth telling at all, they are almost always incredible. And the truer they are, the more pointless and the more incredible they are. The story I am going to tell is neither dramatic nor probable. And yet it seems to me worth telling—independently of its inherent curiosity—as an instance of those extraordinary freaks of psychology which now and again throw out of gear altogether the everyday experience of practical men, among whom I have some claim to be reckoned." Robert Edward Francillon was an English journalist and author, active in the late 19th century. Among his novels ‘Gods and Heroes’, ‘Pearl and Emerald’; ‘Queen Cophetua’ ; ‘King or Knave’ .
