UNIT 17
SHERLOCK HOLMES
 Read The Hound of the Baskervilles and answer the questions:
 Sherlock Holmes and Watson have a visit from a man
called Dr Mortimer. He wants Holmes's advice before he
goes to see his friend Sir Henry Baskerville. Sir Henry is
the last member of the Baskerville family and is going to
inherit the family home, Baskerville Hall, in the west of
England. Mortimer is worried about Henry and tells
Holmes and Watson an old legend about a wild dog. It is
called the Hound of the Baskervilles and it killed Sir Hugo
Baskerville hundreds of years earlier. It has also killed
other members of the Baskerville family since then. The
legend says that this dog will kill anyone called
Baskerville.
 At first the detective laughs at the story, but then Dr
Mortimer tells him about Henry's uncle, Sir Charles
Baskerville, who has just been found dead in his garden.
He had no physical injuries, but he had died with a
terrified expression on his face. Also near to his body
there were the footprints of an enormous dog. Suddenly,
Holmes is very interested and goes to Baskerville Hall to
investigate.
 Holmes and Watson solve the crime. They discover that
the criminal is called Stapleton, a cousin of the
Baskerville who wants to inherit the family home. He
knows the legend of the hound, and trains a black dog to
kill the first person it sees. He doesn't feed the dog
because he wants to make it very hungry; however, when
he sends it to kill Sir Henry Baskerville, Holmes and
Watson are waiting. When they shoot the dog, everyone
realizes that the hound is just an ordinary dog. Stapleton
drowns as he is trying escape.
