The Hound of the Baskervilles Page #3

---

I have no dog.

Then how do you

account for these marks?

Evidently the teeth marks

of a dog.

I used to have a dog,

a small Spaniel,

but it died.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Well, Holmes,

what do you make of it?

Do you think there's

anything in it?

Good heavens, you're not going to start

scratching on that infernal thing, are you?

Dear old Watson.

Well, goodbye, Sir Henry.

If you ever go back to Canada,

be sure you sail with us.

Thanks,

you've all been wonderful.

Very best of luck, sir.

And the same to you, sir.

This way, Sir Henry.

Thank you, sir.

- And you.

- Thank you, Sir Henry.

- And you.

- Thank you, sir.

Sir Henry?

Oh, it's too bad it's all over,

just when you and Betsy Anne were

really getting to know each other.

Oh, but we are going to

see one another in London,

aren't we, Sir Henry?

Oh, I should love to,

but I have to go down to

the country, unfortunately.

To your ancestral estate?

How exciting.

Perhaps, Betsy Anne,

if you're very good,

Sir Henry will ask us

to visit him.

Of course, yes.

- We're staying at The Savoy.

- Don't forget.

- I won't.

- Bye.

Goodbye.

Sir Henry?

Yes.

I'm Dr. Mortimer.

Your uncle was my best friend.

How do you do? Thank you

for coming to meet me.

Not at all, my dear boy.

Did you have a pleasant trip?

Splendid, thank you.

I've taken rooms for you at the

Northhumberland Hotel,

where I'm stopping.

Fine.

I assume you'll be staying

in London for a few days?

Yes, I haven't seen it

since I was a boy.

- Thank you, sir.

- Northhumberland Hotel.

Sir Charles' death was a

great personal loss to me.

I was more than his doctor..

What's this?

What are those words?

You mind, Sir Henry?

No, not at all.

What do you make of it,

Mr. Holmes?

Why do you think that last

word is printed in ink?

Oh, that's simple enough.

The words have been snipped

from The London Times,

that's evident

from the typography.

But the word "moor"

is an unusual word.

Your correspondent evidently

couldn't find it in the newspaper.

You'll admit, Dr. Mortimer, there's

nothing supernatural about this.

Supernatural?

Tell me, Sir Henry,

has anything else unusual

happened to you today

since your arrival in London?

I can't think of anything,

unless you'd say that losing

one of your boots is unusual.

- You lost one of your boots? - Yes, and

brand new ones too, never had them on.

I put them outside the door

to be cleaned,

and when I went to fetch them,

there was only one there.

Brand new boots and you

put them out to be cleaned?

They were tan ones, Dr. Watson.

It prevents them from scratching

to have them polished first

Now will you please tell me

what this is all about?
