7/23 Have you among your neighbours or acquaintances on Dartmoor any man with a black, full beard ?" "No--or, let me see--why, yes. Barrymore, Sir Charles's butler, is a man with a full, black beard." "Ha! Where is Barrymore ?" "He is in charge of the Hall." "We had best ascertain if he is really there, or if by any possibility he might be in London." "How can you do that ?" "Give me a telegraph form. 'Is all ready for Sir Henry ?' That will do. Address to Mr.Barrymore, Baskerville Hall. What is the nearest telegraph-office? |
