"
I
must
thank
you
,
"
said
Sherlock
Holmes
,
"
for
calling
my
attention
to
a
case
which
certainly
presents
some
features
of
interest
.
I
had
observed
some
newspaper
comment
at
the
time
,
but
I
was
exceedingly
preoccupied
by
that
little
affair
of
the
Vatican
cameos
,
and
in
my
anxiety
to
oblige
the
Pope
I
lost
touch
with
several
interesting
English
cases
.
This
article
,
you
say
,
contains
all
the
public
facts
?
"
"
It
does
.
"
"
Then
let
me
have
the
private
ones
.
"
He
leaned
back
,
put
his
finger-tips
together
,
and
assumed
his
most
impassive
and
judicial
expression
.
"
In
doing
so
,
"
said
Dr.
Mortimer
,
who
had
begun
to
show
signs
of
some
strong
emotion
,
"
I
am
telling
that
which
I
have
not
confided
to
anyone
.
My
motive
for
withholding
it
from
the
coroner
's
inquiry
is
that
a
man
of
science
shrinks
from
placing
himself
in
the
public
position
of
seeming
to
indorse
a
popular
superstition
.
I
had
the
further
motive
that
Baskerville
Hall
,
as
the
paper
says
,
would
certainly
remain
untenanted
if
anything
were
done
to
increase
its
already
rather
grim
reputation
.
For
both
these
reasons
I
thought
that
I
was
justified
in
telling
rather
less
than
I
knew
,
since
no
practical
good
could
result
from
it
,
but
with
you
there
is
no
reason
why
I
should
not
be
perfectly
frank
.
"
The
moor
is
very
sparsely
inhabited
,
and
those
who
live
near
each
other
are
thrown
very
much
together
.
For
this
reason
I
saw
a
good
deal
of
Sir
Charles
Baskerville
.
With
the
exception
of
Mr.
Frankland
,
of
Lafter
Hall
,
and
Mr.
Stapleton
,
the
naturalist
,
there
are
no
other
men
of
education
within
many
miles
.
Sir
Charles
was
a
retiring
man
,
but
the
chance
of
his
illness
brought
us
together
,
and
a
community
of
interests
in
science
kept
us
so
.
He
had
brought
back
much
scientific
information
from
South
Africa
,
and
many
a
charming
evening
we
have
spent
together
discussing
the
comparative
anatomy
of
the
Bushman
and
the
Hottentot
.
"
Within
the
last
few
months
it
became
increasingly
plain
to
me
that
Sir
Charles
's
nervous
system
was
strained
to
the
breaking
point
.
He
had
taken
this
legend
which
I
have
read
you
exceedingly
to
heart
--
so
much
so
that
,
although
he
would
walk
in
his
own
grounds
,
nothing
would
induce
him
to
go
out
upon
the
moor
at
night
.
Incredible
as
it
may
appear
to
you
,
Mr.
Holmes
,
he
was
honestly
convinced
that
a
dreadful
fate
overhung
his
family
,
and
certainly
the
records
which
he
was
able
to
give
of
his
ancestors
were
not
encouraging
.
The
idea
of
some
ghastly
presence
constantly
haunted
him
,
and
on
more
than
one
occasion
he
has
asked
me
whether
I
had
on
my
medical
journeys
at
night
ever
seen
any
strange
creature
or
heard
the
baying
of
a
hound
.
The
latter
question
he
put
to
me
several
times
,
and
always
with
a
voice
which
vibrated
with
excitement
.
"
I
can
well
remember
driving
up
to
his
house
in
the
evening
some
three
weeks
before
the
fatal
event
.
He
chanced
to
be
at
his
hall
door
.
I
had
descended
from
my
gig
and
was
standing
in
front
of
him
,
when
I
saw
his
eyes
fix
themselves
over
my
shoulder
,
and
stare
past
me
with
an
expression
of
the
most
dreadful
horror
.
I
whisked
round
and
had
just
time
to
catch
a
glimpse
of
something
which
I
took
to
be
a
large
black
calf
passing
at
the
head
of
the
drive
.
So
excited
and
alarmed
was
he
that
I
was
compelled
to
go
down
to
the
spot
where
the
animal
had
been
and
look
around
for
it
.
It
was
gone
,
however
,
and
the
incident
appeared
to
make
the
worst
impression
upon
his
mind
.
I
stayed
with
him
all
the
evening
,
and
it
was
on
that
occasion
,
to
explain
the
emotion
which
he
had
shown
,
that
he
confided
to
my
keeping
that
narrative
which
I
read
to
you
when
first
I
came
.
I
mention
this
small
episode
because
it
assumes
some
importance
in
view
of
the
tragedy
which
followed
,
but
I
was
convinced
at
the
time
that
the
matter
was
entirely
trivial
and
that
his
excitement
had
no
justification
.
"
It
was
at
my
advice
that
Sir
Charles
was
about
to
go
to
London
.
His
heart
was
,
I
knew
,
affected
,
and
the
constant
anxiety
in
which
he
lived
,
however
chimerical
the
cause
of
it
might
be
,
was
evidently
having
a
serious
effect
upon
his
health
.
I
thought
that
a
few
months
among
the
distractions
of
town
would
send
him
back
a
new
man
.
