Mortimer can’t find his dog. Then, Watson goes to see Frankland. They go up to his roof and look through the telescope. They see a boy carrying a parcel of food for the stranger. Watson goes onto the moor to the prehistoric houses. He waits for the stranger inside one of the houses. The stranger is Sherlock Holmes! They hear the hound and a man’s scream. They find a body.

Rodger was a bad man, like his father. He stole a lot of money. The police wanted to talk to him, so he changed his name to Vandeleur. Mr and Mrs Vandeleur escaped to England. Here, they started their school in the north. Then, when the three schoolboys died, the Vandeleurs changed their name again to Stapleton. They went to Dartmoor. Stapleton knew he was a Baskerville. He knew Sir Charles was rich. He decided to kill Sir Charles. Beryl pretended to be Stapleton’s sister and they bought a house near Baskerville Hall.

Here, Stapleton became friends with Sir Charles Baskerville. Sir Charles told Stapleton about the Hound of the Baskervilles. Stapleton knew that Sir Charles was afraid of the Hound and he knew

that Sir Charles had a weak heart. This gave Stapleton the idea.
