Baskerville Hall
- That Saturday, Holmes takes Watson to the train station to go to Baskerville Hall.
- Holmes asks Watson to send him information about Sir Henry's neighbors.
- Holmes gives Watson a quick list of people in the area:
- Mr. and Mrs. Barrymore (the butler and his wife);
- Dr. Mortimer (unlikely to be the murderer);
- Mrs. Mortimer (totally unknown);
- Stapleton (a local scientist);
- Stapleton's sister (an attractive young woman); and
- Mr. Frankland (another neighbor).
- When Dr. Mortimer and Sir Henry arrive at the train station, Holmes warns Sir Henry that it's not safe for him to go off on his own. Not. Safe.
- Watson, Dr. Mortimer, and Sir Henry take the train to Devonshire.
- Watson notices that the landscape is a bleak and a little sad.
- Plus, there are soldiers watching the road to Sir Henry's property.
- The driver explains that a prisoner has escaped onto the moors.
- And he's not just any prisoner—he's an insane murderer named Selden.
- When they arrive at Baskerville Hall, they see that it's a pretty gloomy place.
- Barrymore welcomes Sir Henry to his (miserable-looking, but very grand) family home.
- He also suggests that Sir Henry start hiring a full staff of servants to keep the old place up.
- Sir Henry wonders: is Barrymore planning on quitting? His family has worked for Baskerville Hall for generations.
- In fact, Barrymore does want to leave: he and his wife were so weirded out by Sir Charles' death that they don't feel comfortable at the Hall any longer.
- In the middle of the night, Watson hears the sound of a woman sobbing.
