It is dark. Holmes, Lestrade and I move towards the house. “Let’s wait here,” Holmes says. “We can hide behind these rocks. Watson, go to the house and see what they are doing. Make sure they don’t see you.” I hide behind a wall. I can see Mr Stapleton and Sir Henry sitting at a table.
Then, Stapleton leaves the room and walks to a shed in the yard. He opens the door and there is a strange noise from inside. After a minute, he locks the door and goes back into the house. I hurry back to report everything to Lestrade and Holmes.
There is now a thick white fog over the moor. “The fog is getting thicker,” says Holmes. “This is very serious—Sir Henry must go home soon.”
Suddenly, we hear footsteps. They get closer and we see Sir Henry walking towards us through the fog. Then, we hear something. A terrible animal appears. It is a huge black hound. There is fire coming from its mouth and its huge eyes are glowing.
The hound runs after Sir Henry. Holmes and I both fire our guns. We hit it but the hound doesn’t stop. It jumps on Sir Henry and pushes him to the ground. Holmes points his gun and shoots the hound five times. The giant hound is dead.
Sir Henry is lying on the path. We run to him and find he is alive.
I put my hand on the hound’s glowing face and find my own fingers glow in the dark. “Phosphorous(含磷的),” I say.
We walk towards Merripit House to search for Mr Stapleton. In the house we don’t find him, but we find Mrs Stapleton tied up in a bedroom. We untie her. When she knows Sir Henry is alive and the hound is dead, she cries, “Thank God!”
“Now we have proof, and we need Mr Stapleton,” says Holmes.
