At half past seven, when Sir Henry left the Hall, we were ready.
Sir Henry walked along the path across the Great Grimpen Mire, towards Merripit House. The Stapletons had asked him to come to dinner at eight o’clock.
The three of us followed him – Lestrade, Holmes and I. Each of us carried a revolver. We sam Sir Henry go into Merripit House. We waited below High Tor, about two hundred yards from the house.
