Holmes made arrangements so that they were "only delayed one day upon their way." My guess is that he had Cartwright pick them up at the Coombe Tracey post office though part of me wants to believe that Holmes did not want to leave such a clue to anyone so close to the scene of the action.

Differences between Holmes and Watson?

Sherlock is smart and perfect. Watson is kindly but not as smart. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created his character Sherlock Holmes modelling him after his teacher in the Edinburgh Medical School, Dr. Joseph Bell. So this character was created out of the elements and faculties of observation, logic, deduction and diagnosis. Dr.Watson was a shadow of Doyle's past inner self from the student days, created as an unpolished rock against which the razor of Holmes' logic could be sharpened. Holmes is pictured as a very detached and reserved person whereas Watson is kind, humane, emotional and social. Watson is not at all a fool or unclever, but he certainly can not raise himself above earthly cares whereas Holmes can abandon food and rest for days if necessary, when he is engaged in a mind blowing puzzle the solving of which needs him being just a weight of nerves. Watson is straight forward and simple and just can not enter the mind of a criminal as his famous companion does. Nor can he invent ingeneous tricks like Holmes to trap adversaries.


What is the main idea of The Hound of the baskervilles?

The story starts when a man drops dead in the moors. A beggar tries to rob him. Holmes is told of an almost identical murder. They follow Mortimor and Henry Baskerville out so that nothing happens to him. Holmes and Watson find a man pointing a gun in a nearby cab and warn Henry. Watson and Henry later go out to the moors when they see a butler that looks like the gunman in the cab. He has a candle and is waving it about. Watson asks him of his actions. The butler disappears. They see a distant light that looks like a candle. They go out to the moors and find a lit candle in a stone cave. The beggar in the beginning of the story is spying on them.


What did Sherlock Holmes do?

1. Holmes invites his client to tell his story "omitting no detail, however slight." 2. He goes to the scene of the crime and looks around for clues, such as footprints, cigar ashes, displaced objects, dust patterns (in "Black Peter", Holmes noted that a rectangular object had been removed from a shelf because he noticed a dust free patch on the shelf.) 3. He asks questions and interviews people he believes have some interest in the case (the victim's or suspect's family, employers, landladies). Sometimes he gets Watson or one of the street kids to do the legwork. 4. He analyzes the data he has found, trying to put it into a pattern. In other words, he thinks. He usually smokes his pipe during that time, and asks Watson to keep silent or come back later. 5. He tries out his conclusions, confronts the villain and closes the case.
