Mortimer ask help to Sherlock Holmes to solve the mistery of his friend Sir Charles Baskervilles death, he think he die because have a curse on the baskerville family, the curse is about a hound who kill the Baskervilles and Mortimer start talking about this curse, who iniciate with Sir Hugo. The legend about Sir Hugo said that he liked a poor girl but she was not in love with him, so one night he and his companions went to her poor house and carried her off. They brought her to Baskervilles Hall and locked her. The girl was afraid and she escaped, when Sir Hugo saw she had escaped, he and his drank friends rode after the hounds trying to catch her. Suddenly Hugo and his horse disappeared in the moor. She had fallen down into a hole, she had died and near her was Sir Hugo's body and a hound biting his throat. Since that many of the Baskervilles had been unhappy in their deaths, the legend said if Sir Charles crossed the moor, the power of evil would take his life. Sir Charles was a dangerous man, he had no children. One night he went for a walk and never returned. Mr. Barrymore, his servant,saw his body, it had an ugly expression on his face, he had died of a heart attack and his body had not been attacked because hounds never attack a dead body. The last Baskerville was Henrry, Sir Charles nephew (he lived in London). Sir Charles had a brother, Rodger but he had died in Centro America, he had had a son Stapleton who married Beryl. They changed their names because their surname was not popular, but nobody new it. Henrry lived in London and gave Mr. Holmes a letter he had received, it was a threat. When he was in the hotel, one of his new boots disappeared, it had been stolen by Stapleton who wanted to give the scent to the hound to attack, but as the new one had no scent Stapleton changed it for an old one.

Riddle or a joke?

"I respect any types of novels and literature. Some more, some less. But, I want to do a reservation. The Hound of the Baskervilles is a great book. For that time, of course. For the new times, this book is only a whopping and unbeliavable challenge to our knowledge. We know, Mr. Conan Doyle, that that things are IMPOSSIBLE to happen, and, also, we know that... A hound? As a killer? And the man, that idiot bastard of Stapleton? He is a Baskerville? Oh no... Long live to the 21st century! Long live to things like Twilight, that are great marketing pitches and great teen novels. Yeah. That's my opinion."

The history of The Hound of the Baskervilles - Part 2

The Hound of the Baskervilles

Mortimer and Henrry went out to the hotel and Watson and Holmes followed them and saw a taxi was following Henry. They could only see the black beard of a man. He was Stapleton who did not kill Henry because Holmes had seen him. Henry wanted to go to the Baskervilles house so he and Watson went there. They were told that a very dangerous prisoner called Seldon (he was Mrs. Barrymores brother) had escaped from the prison and he had done an inhuman murder. Watson and Henry discovered it because they saw Barrymore making signals near the window, so they told them that Seldon was hiding in the moor and they gave him food and clothes. Henry and Watson decided to go and see him, but when they arrived they saw a dead body wearing one of Sir Hugo's suit. Watson met Stapleton but he told him that he was a naturalist who lived with his sister in the moor, but in fact she was his wife.

The servant told Watson that Sir Charles had been waiting for a woman the night he died, because he was found a letter which said : help me and go to the gate at ten o'clock L.L. So Watson went to London to meet Laura Lyons, she had married an artist. She told him that she had written the letter but she had never been to the date because she had received help from another person. She had been used by Stapleton who wanted to look her unmarried so as to marry her. One day Stapleton invited Watson to have dinner and he saw a picture of Sir Hugo which was very similar to him, so Watson sent a telegraph message saying that the best policeman from London would arrive to help them. When Harry came out from Stapleton's house, Holmes and the policeman followed him and saw a very rude hound so they shot and the hound attacked Henry. He did not die because Holmes killed it. Holmes and the policeman went to Stapleton's house but he was not there, his wife told them that her husband had been bitten when he trained his hound. They went there, but he had sunk in the moor trying to escape. Beryl told them that he knew everything because Mortimer had told him, and she was afraid of his husband so she did not say anything before, and she also said that Mortimer did not know about Stapleton's plan. (he wanted to kill Henry because he was the lat Baskervilles, and hewanted all the money).
