IT is not very often, I think, that a sportsman who is not a Master of Hounds is more of sport that he desires to follow, he will, at allvi hounds, gentlemen, please!
Table of contents

Steady, gentlemen, please. Let hounds get out of covert. Let them get straightened away. The lone Huntsman, cheering and encouraging his hounds, passed on toward Grafton street. Hounds ran a burning line with a fine head up Albemarle street, but at The Royal Institute they dwelled on the line and faulted. The Huntsman cast them up the noble steps of the Institute and then in a narrow service alley at the Piccadilly side of the building. In the alley he was met by the bewildered guardian hurrying out to see what the hue and cry might be.

Dash it, Sir! You will have their heads up in a minute. Hold hard! Then Furrier opened, the pack honored, and away they flew toward Grafton Street. Of course, Albemarle street ends at Grafton, and there was a great to-do as to whether the fox had turned right-handed to Old Bond street or left-handed to Dover street.

Again hounds faulted and up went their heads. Again the twang of the horn calling hounds to him, and then patiently he cast a little way toward Old Bond—then a little toward Dover—and finally a bit back on Albemarle. On this latter cast he encountered the old guardian of the venerable Institute standing in the middle of the road, his eyes agog.

At last the riddle was solved. The true line ran toward Dover Street and so down Little Hay Hill where Huntsman and horn drifted out of hearing; but Florence said she heard the horn once more across Berkeley Square and about opposite Dartmouth House on Charles street. She said she then went to bed and to sleep, but I rather think she fell to romancing. Purchases made on behalf of a third party are entirely the responsibility of the bidder in the room.

  • THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES.
  • Drew McMullan...And the Eighth Grade Threat.
  • Davey and the Magic Yellow Blanket;

Thus encouraged, our scientific friend drew his papers from his pocket and presented the whole case as he had done upon the morning before. Sir Henry Baskerville listened with the deepest attention and with an occasional exclamation of surprise. I suppose that fits into its place. I am very much indebted to you, Dr.

    4. Mortimer, for introducing me to a problem which presents several interesting alternatives. But the practical point which we now have to decide, Sir Henry, is whether it is or is not advisable for you to go to Baskerville Hall. There is no devil in hell, Mr. Holmes, and there is no man upon earth who can prevent me from going to the home of my own people, and you may take that to be my final answer. It was evident that the fiery temper of the Baskervilles was not extinct in this their last representative. I should like to have a quiet hour by myself to make up my mind.

    Now, look here, Mr. Suppose you and your friend, Dr. Watson, come round and lunch with us at two.

    "Hounds, Gentlemen Please!"

    We heard the steps of our visitors descend the stair and the bang of the front door. In an instant Holmes had changed from the languid dreamer to the man of action. Not a moment to lose! We hurried together down the stairs and into the street. Mortimer and Baskerville were still visible about two hundred yards ahead of us in the direction of Oxford Street.

    I am perfectly satisfied with your company if you will tolerate mine.

    Exchange Discount Summary

    Our friends are wise, for it is certainly a very fine morning for a walk. He quickened his pace until we had decreased the distance which divided us by about half. Then, still keeping a hundred yards behind, we followed into Oxford Street and so down Regent Street. Once our friends stopped and stared into a shop window, upon which Holmes did the same.

    An instant afterwards he gave a little cry of satisfaction, and, following the direction of his eager eyes, I saw that a hansom cab with a man inside which had halted on the other side of the street was now proceeding slowly onward again. Come along! At that instant I was aware of a bushy black beard and a pair of piercing eyes turned upon us through the side window of the cab.

    Instantly the trapdoor at the top flew up, something was screamed to the driver, and the cab flew madly off down Regent Street. Holmes looked eagerly round for another, but no empty one was in sight. Then he dashed in wild pursuit amid the stream of the traffic, but the start was too great, and already the cab was out of sight. Watson, Watson, if you are an honest man you will record this also and set it against my successes!

    How else could it be known so quickly that it was the Northumberland Hotel which he had chosen? If they had followed him the first day I argued that they would follow him also the second. You may have observed that I twice strolled over to the window while Dr. Mortimer was reading his legend. We are dealing with a clever man, Watson. This matter cuts very deep, and though I have not finally made up my mind whether it is a benevolent or a malevolent agency which is in touch with us, I am conscious always of power and design.

    When our friends left I at once followed them in the hopes of marking down their invisible attendant. So wily was he that he had not trusted himself upon foot, but he had availed himself of a cab so that he could loiter behind or dash past them and so escape their notice. His method had the additional advantage that if they were to take a cab he was all ready to follow them.

    It has, however, one obvious disadvantage. But that is no use to us for the moment. I should then at my leisure have hired a second cab and followed the first at a respectful distance, or, better still, have driven to the Northumberland Hotel and waited there. When our unknown had followed Baskerville home we should have had the opportunity of playing his own game upon himself and seeing where he made for.

    As it is, by an indiscreet eagerness, which was taken advantage of with extraordinary quickness and energy by our opponent, we have betrayed ourselves and lost our man. We had been sauntering slowly down Regent Street during this conversation, and Dr. Mortimer, with his companion, had long vanished in front of us. We must see what further cards we have in our hands and play them with decision.

    A clever man upon so delicate an errand has no use for a beard save to conceal his features. Come in here, Watson! He turned into one of the district messenger offices, where he was warmly greeted by the manager.
