"On the night of Sir Charles's death Barrymore the butler, who made the discovery, sent Perkins the groom on horseback to me, and as I was sitting up late I was able to reach Baskerville Hall within an hour of the event.
Den natt sir Charles døde, lot hans hushovmester Barrymore, som fant den døde, kusken Perkins ta en hest og øyeblikkelig ri til meg. Jeg satt sent oppe den aftenen, og kunne derfor nå Baskerville en time etter at begivenheten var hendt.
