"
I
have
heard
so
much
.
"
"
My
life
has
been
one
incessant
persecution
from
a
husband
whom
I
abhor
.
The
law
is
upon
his
side
,
and
every
day
I
am
faced
by
the
possibility
that
he
may
force
me
to
live
with
him
.
At
the
time
that
I
wrote
this
letter
to
Sir
Charles
I
had
learned
that
there
was
a
prospect
of
my
regaining
my
freedom
if
certain
expenses
could
be
met
.
It
meant
everything
to
me
--
peace
of
mind
,
happiness
,
self-respect
--
everything
.
I
knew
Sir
Charles
's
generosity
,
and
I
thought
that
if
he
heard
the
story
from
my
own
lips
he
would
help
me
.
"
"
Then
how
is
it
that
you
did
not
go
?

"
Because
I
received
help
in
the
interval
from
another
source
.
"
"
Why
then
,
did
you
not
write
to
Sir
Charles
and
explain
this
?
"
"
So
I
should
have
done
had
I
not
seen
his
death
in
the
paper
next
morning
.
"
The
woman
's
story
hung
coherently
together
,
and
all
my
questions
were
unable
to
shake
it
.
I
could
only
check
it
by
finding
if
she
had
,
indeed
,
instituted
divorce
proceedings
against
her
husband
at
or
about
the
time
of
the
tragedy
.

It
was
unlikely
that
she
would
dare
to
say
that
she
had
not
been
to
Baskerville
Hall
if
she
really
had
been
,
for
a
trap
would
be
necessary
to
take
her
there
,
and
could
not
have
returned
to
Coombe
Tracey
until
the
early
hours
of
the
morning
.
Such
an
excursion
could
not
be
kept
secret
.
The
probability
was
,
therefore
,
that
she
was
telling
the
truth
,
or
,
at
least
,
a
part
of
the
truth
.
I
came
away
baffled
and
disheartened
.
Once
again
I
had
reached
that
dead
wall
which
seemed
to
be
built
across
every
path
by
which
I
tried
to
get
at
the
object
of
my
mission
.
And
yet
the
more
I
thought
of
the
lady
's
face
and
of
her
manner
the
more
I
felt
that
something
was
being
held
back
from
me
.
Why
should
she
turn
so
pale
?
Why
should
she
fight
against
every
admission
until
it
was
forced
from
her
?
Why
should
she
have
been
so
reticent
at
the
time
of
the
tragedy
?
Surely
the
explanation
of
all
this
could
not
be
as
innocent
as
she
would
have
me
believe
.
For
the
moment
I
could
proceed
no
farther
in
that
direction
,
but
must
turn
back
to
that
other
clue
which
was
to
be
sought
for
among
the
stone
huts
upon
the
moor
.
And
that
was
a
most
vague
direction
.
I
realized
it
as
I
drove
back
and
noted
how
hill
after
hill
showed
traces
of
the
ancient
people
.
Barrymore
's
only
indication
had
been
that
the
stranger
lived
in
one
of
these
abandoned
huts
,
and
many
hundreds
of
them
are
scattered
throughout
the
length
and
breadth
of
the
moor
.
But
I
had
my
own
experience
for
a
guide
since
it
had
shown
me
the
man
himself
standing
upon
the
summit
of
the
Black
Tor
.
That
then
should
be
the
centre
of
my
search
.
From
there
I
should
explore
every
hut
upon
the
moor
until
I
lighted
upon
the
right
one
.
If
this
man
were
inside
it
I
should
find
out
from
his
own
lips
,
at
the
point
of
my
revolver
if
necessary
,
who
he
was
and
why
he
had
dogged
us
so
long
.
He
might
slip
away
from
us
in
the
crowd
of
Regent
Street
,
but
it
would
puzzle
him
to
do
so
upon
the
lonely
moor
.
On
the
other
hand
,
if
I
should
find
the
hut
and
its
tenant
should
not
be
within
it
I
must
remain
there
,
however
long
the
vigil
,
until
he
returned
.
Holmes
had
missed
him
in
London
.
It
would
indeed
be
a
triumph
for
me
if
I
could
run
him
to
earth
,
where
my
master
had
failed
.
