I am getting very suspicious of what’s going on with the Barrymore's. I woke up this morning and looked out a window, it was unusually an amazing view of the moor. I could see everything, the Grimpen Mire, it was the best view of the moor. I assumed that I should mention what happened last night to Sir Henry. In fact, Sir Henry mentioned that he also heard Barrymore going around late at night. This all is very unusual, so we both decided to stay up that night and follow Barrymore. Sir Henry prepared to go out for a walk on the moor. I had to come along and investigate, but Sir Henry insisted that I “stayed home.” I remembered what you said, demanding that I shouldn’t let Sir Henry leave the house on his own.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson arrive at the hotel in London where Sir Henry is staying. They find Sir Henry very mad because another boot was missing. He said the first boot that had been taken away had been put back, and a second old black boot was now gone. None of the hotel staff knew anything about this. They also discussed who the person following Sir Henry could be. The only person they know at Baskerville Hall who has a black beard is the butler, Mr. Barrymore. To figure out if Mr. Barrymore is at home, they decide to send him a telegram and to deliver it in person. If he is not there, the telegram would be returned to the sender. Sherlock Holmes then says that Sir Henry needs a bodyguard at Baskerville Hall. He said that Mortimer is too busy to be able to do that, and he says that he is too busy with commitments so tells everyone that Dr. Watson will go with Sir Henry to Baskerville Hall. As they try and figure out more clues about the case, they get word that Mr. Barrymore is in Devonshire because he was there to receive the telegram. Also, the cab driver who Sherlock Holmes had sent for earlier comes to their door. He tells Homes that the bearded man who he had driven around claimed to be a detective. He had told them to say nothing to anyone. Strangest of all, the man had claimed to be named “Mr. Sherlock Holmes”. Holmes is very surprised and also amused.
