1. 前文提到“got out（下车）”，接着描述沿小路的动作，首字母为w，结合全文过去时态，确定是walk的过去式；
2. 前文多次提及“the Stapletons' house”，此处表示朝着目标建筑行进，首字母h对应house；
3. 根据后文“you go forward and I look through the windows”的分工，福尔摩斯先让华生停下，首字母s对应stop；
4. “look through the windows”是固定搭配，意为“透过窗户看”，首字母l对应look；

His life became much better. Seven years after he (arrive) in the USA, he got his first main role in a film. Charlie was a great success in the movie theatres.
