He had had the same disgust with the Professor Challenger stories, when the bull-necked old professor became a convert to Spiritualistm; it was not that Richard had any problems believing in ghosts – Richard believed, with no problems or contradictions, in everything – but Conan Doyle was preaching, and it showed through the words.
