任务四 阅读表达
Dr Mortimer shows Holmes a newspaper. "Now, Mr Holmes. This newspaper is the
Devon Country Chronicle of May 14th. It has a short report of the death of Sir Charles
Baskerville."
He reads, "On the night of the 4th of May, Sir Charles Baskerville went out for a
walk as usual. But he did not return. At twelve o'clock his butler(管家) Barrymore went
to look for Sir Charles. Barrymore found the dead body of Sir Charles near a small gate
which opened onto the moor(沼泽地). There were no signs of violence(暴力迹象). Sir
Charles's closest relative is Mr Henry Baskerville, the son of Sir Charles Baskerville's
younger brother. Sir Henry lives in America."
"Thank you," says Sherlock Holmes. "Is that all?" Dr Mortimer looks worried.
"Listen, Mr Holmes. I have got a secret that nobody else knows. Sir Charles was my
friend. He knew the terrible story about the hound of the Baskervilles, so he was afraid
to walk on the moor at night. He was sure there were strange noises on the moor at night.
When Barrymore the butler found Sir Charles's body he called me to Baskerville Hall.
There were footprints(脚印) on Sir Charles's body."
"A man's or a woman's?" asks Holmes. Dr Mortimer looks strangely at us, and he
answers, "Mr Holmes, they were the footprints of a huge hound!"
