Summary "The Doings of Raffles Haw" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The story centers around the enigmatic character Raffles Haw, a millionaire whose extravagant lifestyle and mysterious origins pique the curiosity of the local community. As the narrative unfolds, the interactions between Haw and the McIntyre family introduce themes of wealth, responsibility, and human nature, exploring how money can both uplift and corrupt. The opening of the novel introduces us to Laura and Robert McIntyre, siblings living in a modest home following their family's fall from grace. Their father, Mr. McIntyre, struggles with depression after losing their family business. The story begins with Laura lamenting the weather and anticipating the arrival of her naval fiancé, Hector Spurling. When Hector finally arrives, conversation flows easily between the three. A sense of mystery is introduced when Hector unexpectedly receives a fifty-pound note from a stranger after helping him in a snowstorm. This mysterious gift sets the stage for further intrigue as the novel hints at the complex world of Raffles Haw and his luxurious yet curious existence, thereby inviting readers to delve deeper into the unfolding tale.
