Three Broken Threads
Its like a connection for a net which consists of only three threads. With these three threads, then the net that Sherlock Holmes has would be usable. The net's purpose was to catch the suspect, but the three threads were actually information from the telegram, Cartwright, and the Taxi driver. Since all the three situations did not go in the direction that Sherlock Holmes expected, he couldn't come to a conclusion. This can be an interpretation that the suspect was also intelligent, but his/her intelligence was used in an evil way. This also shows that Sherlock Holmes' first attempt wasn't always successful and he wasn't perfect. Even though he could sometimes use small details to make a net from 3 threads and create a conclusion.

∙ 11y agoIn chapter 5 of the story, the third thread led to the cab driver that Holmes and Watson foolishly chased down Regent Street who was carrying a mysterious, bearded person of interest in the case. Watson thought that person must be John Barrymore, but later developments seem to make that theory less likely.

What is the difference between sir Charles and Hugo in the hound of baskervilles?
Sir Charles Baskerville seemed to have an excellent reputation after his death. He helped Laura Lyons when she could get no help from her own father. The two Hugos lived centuries earlier. The Hugo from the seventeenth century allegedly started the curse of the Baskervilles by kidnapping a maiden and winding up dead on the moor nearby his captive. The Hugo from the eighteenth century wrote the curse of the Baskervilles document in an apparent attempt to rectify the family reputation. These facts are most of what we know about the three men.
Who is Rodger Baskerville?
Rodger Baskerville was the youngest of three brothers: Charles, a second brother who fathered Henry Baskerville, and Rodger himself. He was the spitting image of Hugo Baskerville, the man who's actions (circa 1650) and fate created the legend of their family. Known as the black sheep of the family, Rodger gained a bad reputation in England and left for Central America where he died in 1876 of yellow fever. Late in the story the reader learns that he had a son also named Rodger Baskerville. There is a third Rodger Baskerville, the son of the Hugo Baskerville who wrote the 'curse' manuscript dated 1742.
What did Watson and Holmes hear before they found the dead man on the moor in the book Hound of the Baskervilles?
