Raffles and Bunny are straight up villains and I'm here for it. These stories are marred by the racism and imperialist attitudes of the time, (the second story, "Costume Piece", is the worst offender), but they're also fascinating for having such anti-hero main characters at a time I associate with moralistic literature. Raffles is prepared to do a murder in one of these stories!
