Considered to be the greatest detective in all of London
Dr. Watson's boss
A very popular man with many friends
He thinks that Dr. Watson should continue to keep an eye on the Barrymores along with all of Sir Henry's neighbors
He can deduce clues from something by just looking at it

Dr. James Mortimer

Sir Charles's personal doctor
He brought the story of the Hound of the Baskervilles to Sherlock Holmes looking for advice on what to do with Sir Henry

Lead #1: Miss Beryl Stapleton

mm080 — 2024-02-09 13:44:42 UTC

I think that Ms. Stapleton sent the warning letter to Sir Henry's hotel. She thought that Dr. Watson was Sir Henry when she saw him talking to her brother, Mr. Stapleton. She told Watson almost the same thing as the "newpaper-cut-out-warning".

Dr. John Watson

mm080 — 2024-02-09 13:51:03 UTC

Sherlock Holmes's right hand man
Dr. Watson is in Baskerville Hall watching over Sir Henry
He is not as good of a detective as Holmes, who tends to call his work elementary
Dr. Watson has met Mr. and Ms. Stapleton
Holmes told him to watch Sir Henry's neighbor

The Mysteries

mm080 — 2024-02-10 18:45:35 UTC

The Mystery Man: Holmes and Watson are trying to discover who is spying on Sir Henry. The "mystery man" called himself Sherlock Holmes.
Sir Charles's Death: Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes are trying to figure out how exactly Sir Charles died. Was his death planned, or was it a coincidence?
Miss Stapleton: Miss Stapleton told Dr. Watson to leave the moor and never come back. She mistook him for Sir Henry. Holmes and Watson thought the warning letter that arrived at Sir Henry’s hotel was from the mystery man, but now Watson is second guessing their conclusion.

Sir Hugo Baskerville

mm080 — 2024-02-10 18:57:00 UTC

The first Baskerville to be killed by the spectral, luminous hound
A very wicked and disliked man
He and his friends captured a beautiful young maiden, and when she had escaped Sir Hugo said that he would give his soul to the devil if he could have back
He died next to the poor maiden after chasing her through the woods
He had his throat ripped out by the hound
The story of his death has been passed down through the Baskerville family

Mr. John Barrymore

mm080 — 2024-02-10 19:12:05 UTC

The butler in Baskerville Hall
He works in the Hall with his wife, Mrs. Barrymore
He lied to Dr. Watson about Mrs. Barrymore crying on the first night of his arrival
Holmes and Watson believed that he was the “mystery man” that was following Sir Henry and Dr. Mortimer
He is a well-trained servant who wants to leave Baskerville Hall due to the sorrow it brings him and his wife

Lead #2: Sir Charles’s Death

mm080 — 2024-02-10 19:21:56 UTC

I think that the Barrymores had something to do with Sir Charles’s death. They say that they cared a lot about Sir Charles. If they cared that much I believe they would have looked closer at the scene where he died. They didn’t notice the gigantic hound paw prints. Dr. Mortimer saw them and told Sherlock Holmes about them. Mr. Barrymore did not bring attention to the paw prints, because he didn’t want them to be noticed, or for people to think there was another possible reason Sir Charles could have died.

Ms. Beryl Stapleton

Dr. Watson remembers the Notting Hill murder case and how Holmes had taken some interest to it

Sir Henry Baskerville

The next heir to the Baskerville fortune
He came to London from Canada
His father was the second youngest brother to Sir Charles
He lost boots at his hotel, The Northumberland Hotel
He is currently residing in Baskerville Hall under the protection of Dr. Watson
He has some feelings for Ms. Stapleton

Lead #3:

mm080 — 2024-02-11 00:17:42 UTC

I think Mr. Stapleton is the “mystery man” that was spying on Sir Henry. In chapter 7, Dr. Watson discovers that the telegram was not delivered directly into the hands of Mr. Barrymore, because he was in the loft. The response that Watson and Holmes had gotten saying that Mr. Barrymore was at Baskerville Hall was not even written by him, but by his wife, Mrs. Barrymore. With all of that being said, I think we have even more right now to believe that Mr. Barrymore, who fits the “mystery man‘s” description, was in London and he was spying on Dr. Mortimer and Sir Henry.

Mrs. Barrymore

mm080 — 2024-02-11 00:24:54 UTC

She was crying on the night of Sir Henry and Dr. Watson‘s arrival
She is the housekeeper at Baskerville Hall
Married to Mr. John Barrymore
She especially wants to leave Baskerville Hall, because she says that it reminds her of Sir Charles and it brings her sorrow
She is not the most friendly person
She wrote the response to the telegram that Sherlock and Watson had sent to Mr. Barrymore

Sir Charles Baskerville

mm080 — 2024-02-11 01:09:04 UTC

A very kind man who loved to help the poor
He was petrified by the Hound of the Baskervilles legend he had been told
He was really good friends with everyone that lived on the moor
One of his best friends was Dr. Mortimer, who was also his personal doctor
He had a lot of heart issues that could have been caused by his extreme fear and constant anxiety about the ghost-like hound

Mr. Jack Stapleton

He lives in Merripit House with his sister Beryl, on the moor
