Sherlock
Holmes was in his flat at 221B Baker Street in London smoking his pipe.
Suddenly, he heard the doorbell ring and the visitor arrives. His name was a
thin tall mane called Dr. Mortimer and he needed some advice of Holmes. His
clothes were smart and he wore glasses. The Doctor was a friend of Sir Charles
Baskerville, a person that died a three months ago in a horrible way. Then he
started reading a history that Barskerville made before died and he had given
him.
The
history was: “I’m Hugo Baskerville, and I’m writing this in 1742. The head of
the Baskerville family in 1640 was a cruel and bad man, named Sir Hugo
Baskerville that fell in love with the daughter of a farmer. One night, Hugo jumped on his horse and rode
after the hounds. Some of his friends also decided to rode after him. After a
while Sir Hugo’s friends saw an old man in the darkness and he told them that
he had seen a huge hound running silently beside Sir Hugo.
