CHAPTER 9.
(Second Report of Dr.Watson) 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.

In my last report I ended upon my top note with Barrymore at the window, and now I have quite a budget already which will, unless I am much mistaken, considerably surprise you.

Things have taken a turn which I could not have anticipated.

In some ways they have within the last forty-eight hours become much clearer and in some ways they have become more complicated.
