The Ides of March is a novel written by E.W. Hornung, first published in 1898. It is a thriller and suspense novel that revolves around the life of a young man named A. J. Raffles, who is a gentleman thief. The story is set in London and follows Raffles and his accomplice, Bunny Manders, as they plan and execute a series of daring robberies.The novel is divided into eight chapters, each of which is a stand-alone story that follows Raffles and Bunny as they carry out a different heist. The book is written in the first person, with Bunny narrating the events of each chapter.The novel is known for its witty and charming writing style, and for its depiction of Raffles as a charismatic and charming rogue. The book also explores themes of morality and the consequences of crime, as Raffles struggles with his conscience and the risks of his criminal activities.Overall, The Ides of March is a classic novel of suspense and adventure, with a memorable protagonist and a thrilling plot that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.I laughed aloud in my misery. ’There’s been a bill of sale on every stick for months!’ And at that Raffles stood still, with raised eyebrows and stern eyes that I could meet the better now that he knew the worst; then, with a shrug, he resumed his walk, and for some minutes neither of us spoke. But in his handsome unmoved face I read my fate and death-warrant; and with every breath I cursed my folly and my cowardice in coming to him at all.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...
