| Summary | "The Yellow Crayon" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story introduces Mr. Sabin, a man of apparent prominence who is engulfed in a mysterious and troubling circumstance—the disappearance of his wife, the Duchess of Souspennier. The narrative unfolds with Mr. Sabin's internal turmoil and his determination to uncover the truth behind her absence, showcasing themes of love, deception, and the quest for justice. The opening of "The Yellow Crayon" sets the stage with a rich, languorous atmosphere, describing a beautiful summer day juxtaposed with Mr. Sabin's deep introspection and melancholy. After a prolonged period of contemplation in his lavish yet empty surroundings, he prompts his servant, Duson, to prepare for their imminent departure to New York, as he is set on locating his wife. The details of their flight lead to a hurried telegram to Felix, hinting at a connection to greater stakes. Exploring the immediate aftermath of his wife’s disappearance and Mr. Sabin's resolve, the beginning tantalizingly hints at both the personal stakes involved and the broader intrigues that await in the unfolding mystery.
