Hound of Baskervilles
Explanation:
Two days have passed. Watson's second missive home reports that the room in which Barrymore disappeared directly overlooks the moor. Watson theorizes that Barrymore has an affair with a country girl, which would explain both his nightly endeavors and his wife's tears. Watson and Sir Henry plan a stakeout.
Sir Henry meets Beryl Stapleton for a rendezvous. Watson follows him and observes that Beryl seems to resist his romantic overtures. Just as Sir Henry moves in to kiss her, her brother arrives and reacts with anger. Stapleton's reaction seems uncalled for given his sister is single and Sir Henry is a good catch. Later that evening Stapleton arrives at Barrymore Hall and apologizes for his outburst, inviting them to Merripit House for dinner.
On the second night of their stakeout, Watson and Sir Henry follow Barrymore into the room overlooking the moor and confront him. When Barrymore refuses to provide an explanation, Watson grabs the candle and waves it to prove that Barrymore is signaling someone. A faint yellow light far out in the moor responds. Summoned by the commotion, Mrs. Barrymore shows up and reveals that the escaped convict is her younger brother, Selden, and that they are signaling him when they are ready to deliver food or clothes to him.
Watson and Sir Henry head toward he faint light to catch the convict and bring him to the authorities, but he manages to escape. As they return to Baskerville Hall, Watson notices the silhouette of a tall man on top of a tor.
