The murderer? Do you mean Selden? Selden is dead I know. I was on the Tor last night and saw what happened. Holmes said Someone wanted to kil Sir Henry Baskerville,not Selden But how long have you been here? I asked And why are you here in secret?
I came here on the same day as you answered Sherlock Holmes. I came in secret because the murderer clever.He will not show himself if he knows I am here. And what about my letters? I asked Have you read
them Yes I have Holmes replied. They were sent to me from London But I have not read your report of last night Come Tell me about it as we walk to Baskerville Hall He left the farmhouse and I walked quickly after him The sun had gone down and it was getting dark A thick white mist was rising from the moor. You are a good detective said Holmes Tell me how did you find me? How did you know I was at Hing Tor Farm?
I did not know it was you I answered. Mr Frankland saw you through his telescope. And he saw the boy who brought you food and letters.He thought you were Selden,the murderer.Also,I saw you last night on the Tor. I see said Holmes If you saw me, I think the murderer of Sir Henry So I said you think that Sir Charles was murdered I am sure of it said Holmes. Now. stay on the path It was dark and the moon had not come up.We had to walk carefully. The path went through the Great Grimpen Mire and a sea of soft mud lay under the grass on either side of us. Behind us, we heard strange sound, the deep howling sound I had heard on the moor last night. It made me shiver with fear.What is it Holmes? I asked.Do you know what makes that sound No he answered but the village people say it is the Hound of the Baskervilles.I will not go back to High Tor Farm tonight Come. We must hurry. Keep your ervolver ready We walked quickly along the dark path. I was pleased to see the lights of Baskerville Hall in front of us.I was afraid of what was behind us-out on the moor,at night
