[00:00.589] 8 The Stapletons of Pen House
[00:05.773] The next morning was sunny，
[00:08.125] and we were much more cheerful．
[00:10.033] I told Sir Henry about the crying I had heard．
[00:14.227] He rang the bell to call Barrymore，
[00:17.140] and asked him if he could explain the crying．
[00:19.428] Barrymore's face went white when he heard Sir Henry's question．
[00:23.740] ‘There are only two women in the house，Sir Henry，’he answered． “
[00:28.748] ‘One is the maid，who sleeps on the other side of the house． “
[00:33.862] The other is my wife，and she was certainly not crying．’
[00:38.339] But he was telling a lie．
[00:41.574] I saw Mrs Barrymore after breakfast．
[00:45.206] The sun was full on her face，and it was clear she had been crying．
[00:50.467] Why had Barrymore lied？
[00:55.326] What deep sadness had made his wife cry？
[00:59.400] There was a mystery surrounding this black- bearded，handsome man．
[01:04.026] Was it possible that Barrymore was in fact the man who had been watching Sir Henry in London？
[01:10.438] I decided I must check with the local post office that the telegram had really been put into Barrymore's own hands．
[01:18.268] While Sir Henry worked at some papers，
[01:22.316] I walked to the post office．
[01:24.224] It was in the nearest village，which was called Grimpen．
[01:27.907] I spoke to the boy who had taken the telegram to the Hall．
[01:32.272] ‘Did you give it to Mr Barrymore himself？’I asked． “
[01:36.964] ‘Well，’the boy said， “
[01:40.043] ‘he was working upon the roof，so I couldn't give it to him．“
[01:44.615] I gave it to Mrs Barrymore，
[01:46.486] and she promised to give it to him at once．’
[01:48.904] ‘Did you see Mr Barrymore？’I asked him． “
[01:52.434] ‘No，’said the boy，
[01:54.095] ‘but why did his wife say he was upon the roof if he wasn't？’ “
[01:58.375] It was hopeless to ask any more questions．
[02:01.849] It was clear that Holmes' cleverness with the telegram had not given us the proof we needed．
[02:08.200] I was walking away from the post office when I heard someone running after me．
[02:15.038] A voice called me by name，
[02:17.716] and I turned．
[02:18.944] I expected to see Dr Mortimer，as I knew nobody else in the village．
[02:23.301] To my surprise it was a stranger．
[02:28.044] He was a small，thin man，
[02:29.930] between thirty and forty years old，with fair hair and no beard．
[02:35.141] He was carrying a butterfly net，and a box for putting butterflies in．
[02:39.663] ‘I hope you will excuse me for introducing myself，Dr Watson，’ “
[02:45.933] he said as he came up to me．
[02:48.025] ‘My name is Stapleton． “
[02:50.025] I was in Dr Mortimer's house and we saw you．
[02:53.176] He told me who you are．
[02:55.393] May I walk along with you？
[02:57.721] This path back to the Hall goes near my home，Pen House．
[03:03.493] Please come in and meet my sister，and spend an hour with us．’
[03:07.585] I accepted Stapleton's invitation，and we walked together．
[03:13.161] ‘I know that you are a close friend of Sherlock Holmes，’ “
[03:17.539] said Stapleton．
[03:19.023] ‘Has Mr Holmes any ideas about Sir Charles death？’ “
[03:22.753] ‘I'm afraid I can't answer that question，’I said． “
[03:27.916] ‘Will Mr Holmes visit us himself？’he asked． “
[03:31.156] ‘He can't leave London at the moment，’I answered． “
[03:35.217] I was rather surprised that he was asking me these questions
[03:39.435] We walked on．
[03:41.507] Stapleton told me that he and his sister had lived in Devonshire for only two years．
[03:47.374] They had moved there soon after Sir Charles had begun to live in Baskerville Hall．
[03:51.938] He also talked about the moor and how it interested him．
[03:56.542] He told me to look across the moor to a place which was a bright green colour．
[04:02.073] ‘That is the Great Grimpen Marsh，’he said “
[04:06.709] ‘If animals or men go into the marsh，they will sink into it and die． “
[04:11.156] But I can find my way to the very centre of it．
[04:14.809] Look，there is another of those poor horses．’
[04:18.355] Something brown was fighting to get out of the bright green of the marsh．
[04:23.792] Then a terrible cry came across the moor．
[04:27.524] The horse's head and neck disappeared under the green．
[04:30.956] ‘It's gone，’Stapleton said．‘The marsh has caught and killed it．That often happens．It is an evil place，the Great Grimpen Marsh．’
[04:38.176]
[04:39.377] ‘But you say you can go safely in and out of it？’I asked him． “
[04:47.636] ‘Yes，there are a few paths， “
[04:50.750] and I have found them．
[04:52.751] The low hills you can see are like islands surrounded by the marsh．
[04:56.835] That is where I can find the unusual plants and butterflies．
[05:00.489] And that's why I found my way through the marsh．’
[05:03.636] ‘I shall try my luck one day，’I said． “
[05:06.841] He looked at me in surprise．
[05:10.148] ‘Please don't try，’he said．
[05:12.543] ‘You would never return alive，and it would be my fault．’
[05:15.665] ‘Listen，’I said．‘What is that？’
[05:20.708] A long，low cry，very deep and very sad，came over the moor．
[05:27.305] It filled the whole air．Then it died away．
[05:31.655] ‘What is it？’I asked，with a cold fear in my heart．
[05:37.689] Stapleton had a strange look on his face．
[05:44.151] ‘The people say it's the Hound of the Baskervilles，
[05:48.163] which is calling for something to hunt and kill．
[05:50.692] I've heard it once or twice before，
[05:55.099] but never so loud．’
[05:56.602] ‘You are a man of science，’I said． “
[05:58.859] ‘You don't believe that，do you？ “
[06:01.208] Isn't there a natural explanation for the sound？’
[06:03.929] ‘A marsh makes strange noises sometimes． “
[06:07.932] It is the water and the wet ground moving．’
[06:10.423] ‘But that was the voice of a living creature，’I said． “
[06:14.381] ‘Well，perhaps it was．
[06:15.989] There are some very unusual birds on the moors．
[06:19.701] It was most probably the cry of one of those．’
[06:23.539] At that moment a small butterfly flew across the path in front of us．
[06:29.093] ‘Excuse me，Dr Watson，’shouted Stapleton， “
[06:33.323] and ran off to try to catch the butterfly．
[06:36.602] He ran quickly and followed the butterfly on to the marsh，
[06:41.483] but he knew exactly where he could go，
[06:43.690] and was not in any danger．
[06:45.508] As I watched him，I heard the sound of steps behind me．
[06:50.148] I turned and saw a woman near me on the path．
[06:54.208] I was sure she was Miss Stapleton．
[06:57.239] She was very beautiful．She was dark and tall，with a lovely face．
[07:02.688] Before I could say anything，she said：
[07:05.303] ‘Go back！Go straight back to London，immediately． “
[07:09.095] I can not tell you why，but please do what I ask you，
[07:12.511] and never come near the moor again．
[07:15.042] But my brother is coming．Not a word to him．’
[07:18.899] Stapleton had caught the butterfly，
[07:21.852] and was walking bath to us．
[07:23.819] ‘Hello，my dear，’he said to his sister， “
[07:28.248] but it seemed to me that his voice was not completely friendly．
[07:32.037] ‘I see that you two have already introduced yourselves．’ “
[07:35.862] ‘Yes，’she said．
[07:39.003] ‘I was telling Sir Henry that it was rather late in the year for him to see the true beauty of the moor．’ “
[07:45.011] ”
[07:45.214] ‘I am sorry，’I said． “
[07:49.636] ‘You have made a mistake．I'm not Sir Henry． “
[07:51.592] I am a friend who is visiting him，and my name is Dr Watson．’
[07:57.606] Miss Stapleton was clearly angry with herself．
[08:01.872] ‘I'm sorry，’ she said． “
[08:04.403] ‘Please forget what I said． “
[08:06.828] But do come with us to our house．’
[08:09.548] The house was lonely and rather grim．
[08:13.307] I wondered why the two of them had come to live so far away from anyone else．
[08:18.534] Stapleton seemed to know what I was thinking，and said：
[08:22.299] ‘You may think this a lonely，strange place to live， “
[08:26.443] but the moors are very interesting，and we enjoy it here．
[08:29.997] I owned a school in the north of England，
[08:33.538] but I had to close it．
[08:35.500] I miss the boys and girls but thefe is plenty to do here，
[08:39.580] and we have good neighbours．
[08:41.105] I hope Sir Henry will become one of tnem．
[08:44.177] May I visit the Hall this afternoon to meet him，do you think？’
[08:48.537] ‘I'm sure he will be very pleased to meet you，’I said． “
[08:52.725] ‘I must go back to the Hall now，and I shall tell him immediately．’ “
[08:56.507] I said goodbye to the Stapletons，
[09:00.298] and continued on the path back to the Hall．
[09:03.115] I had been walking for only a few minutes when I was surprised to see Miss Stapleton sitting on a rock ahead of me．
[09:10.514] She was breathing quickly，
[09:12.614] and I realized she had run by a quicker way to get ahead of me．
[09:16.539] ‘Dr Watson，’she said． “
[09:19.919] ‘I want to say sorry for the mistake I made． “
[09:23.195] I thought you were Sir Henry．
[09:25.552] Please forget what I said．
[09:27.406] I did not mean you were in danger．
[09:30.335] Now I must go，or my brother will miss me．’
[09:34.423] ‘I cannot forget your words，Miss Stapleton，’I said．‘If Sir Henry is in danger，I must tell him．’
[09:41.714]
[09:42.644] ‘You know the story of the Hound？’she asked me． “
[09:46.623] ‘Yes，but I do not believe it，’I replied． “
[09:50.931] ‘But I think it's true，’she said． “
[09:54.276] ‘Please persuade Sir Henry to leave this place． “
[09:57.355] So many of his family have died here mysteriously．
[10:00.757] He must not put his life in danger by staying here．’
[10:04.210] ‘Sir Henry won't leave this place without a real reason，’I said． “
[10:08.869] ‘I can't give you a real reason．I don't know anything for certain．’ “
[10:13.316] ‘One more question，Miss Stapleton，’I said． “
[10:17.087] ‘The story of the Hound is well known． “
[10:20.809] Why didn't you want your brother to hear what you said？’
[10:23.723] ‘My brother wants the head of the Baskerville family to live in the Hall，’she said． “
[10:29.053] ‘He wants Sir Henry to continue the good work that Sir Charles began． “
[10:34.262] He doesn't want Sir Henry to go and live in another place．
[10:37.044] So he doesn't want me to talk about the Hound．
[10:40.659] I must go now，or my brother will guess I have been speaking to you．Goodbye！’
[10:46.512] She turned and went back towards her house，
[10:51.207] and I walked on to Baskerville Hall．

[09:50.931] ' But I think it' s true,' she said "
[09:54.276] ' Please persuade Sir Henry to leave this place "
[09:57.355] So many of his family have died here mysteriously
[10:00.757] He must not put his life in danger by staying here'
[10:04.210] ' Sir Henry won' t leave this place without a real reason,' I said "
[10:08.869] ' I can' t give you a real reason I don' t know anything for certain' "
[10:13.316] ' One more question, Miss Stapleton,' I said "
[10:17.087] ' The story of the Hound is well known "
[10:20.809] Why didn' t you want your brother to hear what you said?'
[10:23.723] ' My brother wants the head of the Baskerville family to live in the Hall,' she said "
[10:29.053] ' He wants Sir Henry to continue the good work that Sir Charles began "
[10:34.262] He doesn' t want Sir Henry to go and live in another place
[10:37.044] So he doesn' t want me to talk about the Hound
[10:40.659] I must go now, or my brother will guess I have been speaking to you Goodbye!'
[10:46.512] She turned and went back towards her house,
[10:51.207] and I walked on to Baskerville Hall
