Chapter II. The Curse of the Baskervilles
Posted by Unknown on 8:24 AM
“I have in my pocket a manuscript,” said Dr. James Mortimer.
“I observed it as you entered the room,” said Holmes.
“It is an old manuscript.”
“Early eighteenth century, unless it is a forgery.”
“How can you say that, sir?”
Chapter III. The Problem
Posted by Unknown on 8:22 AM
I confess at these words a shudder passed through me. There was a thrill in the doctor's voice which showed that he was himself deeply moved by that which he told us.
Chapter IV. Sir Henry Baskerville
Posted by Unknown on 8:20 AM
Our breakfast-table was cleared early, and Holmes waited in his dressing-gown for the promised interview.
Chapter V. Three Broken Threads
Posted by Unknown on 8:19 AM
Sherlock Holmes had, in a very remarkable degree, the power of detaching his mind at will.

Posted by Unknown on 8:16 AM
Sir Henry Baskerville and Dr. Mortimer were ready upon the appointed day, and we started as arranged for Devonshire.
Chapter VII. The Stapletons of Merripit House
Posted by Unknown on 8:14 AM
The fresh beauty of the following morning did something to efface from our minds the grim and gray impression which had been left upon both of us by our first experience of Baskerville Hall.
Chapter VIII. First Report of Dr. Watson
Posted by Unknown on 8:12 AM
From this point onward I will follow the course of events by transcribing my own letters to Mr. Sherlock Holmes which lie before me on the table.

THE LIGHT UPON THE MOOR
Baskerville Hall, Oct. 15th.
My dear Holmes:
If I was compelled to leave you without much news during the early days of my mission you must acknowledge that I am making up for lost time, and that events are now crowding thick and fast upon us.
Chapter X. Extract from the Diary of Dr. Watson
Posted by Unknown on 8:09 AM
So far I have been able to quote from the reports which I have forwarded during these early days to Sherlock Holmes.
Chapter XI. The Man on the Tor
Posted by Unknown on 8:06 AM
The extract from my private diary which forms the last chapter has brought my narrative up to the 18th of October, a time when these strange events began to move swiftly towards their terrible conclusion.
Chapter XII. Death on the Moor
Posted by Unknown on 8:04 AM
For a moment or two I sat breathless, hardly able to believe my ears. Then my senses and my voice came back to me, while a crushing weight of responsibility seemed in an instant to be lifted from my soul.
Chapter XIII. Fixing the Net
Posted by Unknown on 8:02 AM
“We're at close grips at last,” said Holmes as we walked together across the moor.
Chapter XIV. The Hound of the Baskervilles
Posted by Unknown on 8:00 AM
One of Sherlock Holmes's defects—if, indeed, one may call it a defect—was that he was exceedingly loath to communicate his full plans to any other person until the instant of their fulfilment.
Chapter XV. A Retrospection
Posted by Unknown on 7:58 AM
It was the end of November and Holmes and I sat, upon a raw and foggy night, on either side of a blazing fire in our sitting-room in Baker Street.
