| - "The Adventure of the Yellow Face" is one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and is the third tale from The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in The Strand Magazine in 1893 with original illustrations by Sidney Paget. One of Doyle's sentimental pieces, the story is remarkable in that Holmes' deduction during the course of it proves incorrect (Nevertheless, the truth still comes out). According to Dr Watson: "...where he failed it happened too often that no one else succeeded... Now and again, however, it chanced that even when he erred the truth was still discovered." It has been remarked that Doyle's sympathetic treatment of interracial marriage could be considered extraordinarily liberal because, at that time, anti-miscegenation laws were in effect in several countries. The story is written and set in the United Kingdom, a country with no anti-miscegenation laws, though not without racial prejudice. As is evident from the story, in British society of the time, having contracted an interracial marriage and having a mixed race child was not in any way illegal — but still was treated as a shameful secret to be kept closely hidden, and one whose revelation might entail very negative reactions.
