'But I did not go alone,' said Sir Henry. ' Dr Watson was with me. He has a revolver to protect me.'
'And I shall protect you too,' said Holmes. 'Next time you go out on the moor at night, both Dr Watson and I will go with you.'
'The next time ...' Sir Henry began.
'The next time will be tomorrow night,' said Holmes. 'Dr Watson tells me that you are going to dinner at Merripit House on the moor. I believe the Stapletons have invited you.'
'Yes, 'Sir Henry said. 'And has Dr Watson told you that I want to marry Miss stapleton?'
'Yes, he has ,' said Holmes. 'Now I would like to ask Barrymore some question.'
Sir Henry called for his servant, Barrymore. Barrymore came and stood in front of us. Sherlock Holmes looked at him carefully Was this the man with the black bread we had seen in London?
'Tell me about Sir Charles Baskerville,' Holmes said to Barrymore. 'Did he often go for a walk at night?'
'No, Sir,' said Barrymore, 'Sir Charles did not often leave the house at night.'
'But, on the night he died he went for a walk on edge oh the moor,' said Holmes. 'We know he stood by the gate on the edge of the moor for about ten minutes. Was he waiting for someone?'
'I am not sure, sir,' said Barrymore. 'I remember that Sir Charles received a letter that day.'
'A letter?' Holmes asked. 'why do you remember this letter? Did you read it?'
