Sherlock and Mortimer are in the hotel and ask questions to the hotelboy about people who live in this hotel. As they arrived at the top infront of Sir Henrys room he came running out with a head red as a tomato and yelled:,,The people in this hotel think im a idiot. They play there games with the wrong one"! Then a other boot was stolen. After a while they found the boot and told Mortimer and Henry that they wore followed by somone with a black full beard. Mortimer told Holmes that that Barrymore, Sir Charles Buttler has a black full beard. So they sent a telegraph to Baskerville Hall to find out if Barrymore is at home ore if he maybe is in London. They got two telegraphs back later. Barrymore is in Baskerville Hall and that the newspaper coudn't be found. Watson hasent fergot the the numberplate of the carriage the man with the black full beard was in. So they asked questions to the driver.
Sir Henry Baskerville got a menaceletter of somebody. The letter inclues the word:,,If you lay worth on your life then stay away of this moor!" All the words have been cut out of a newspaper, the only word written with ink was moor.
Sir Henry showed this letter to Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson. They took a closer look at the letter. As Sir Henry and Dr.Mortimer went they got followed by a man with a black full beard inside a carriage. As the man saw Sherlock they escaped. Sherlock tried to run after him but the man escaped. So they went to the postman and gave him the quest to track down the destroyed newspaper. Doctor Mortimer saw the marks of this big dog and began to believe the legend to. He asked the farmers who lived in the moor if they saw the huge dog and some of them said "Yes". In a few days the next Baskerville will come to the house. His name was Henry Baskerville which will arrive soon in the Waterloo station. Mortimer asks Sherlock if he can search for some information about the dog and Sherlock said in 24 hours he woll know. After Mortimer went Sherlock wanted to be alone and Mortimer went to his Club and returned in the evening.
Sherlock Holmes was in the living room with Mister Watson, his friend and assistant, and Mister Mortimer.
