Watson and Sir Henry Baskerville sat up in Sir Henry's room waiting, and on the second night they heard the creak of a step in the passage. They took a candle and followed a shadowy figure, also with a candle, down the hall to where the figure stopped at a window. They confronted the figure who turned out to be Barrymore, and they found out that Barrymore had been supplying Selden, the Notting Hill murderer, with food and clothing. As it turns out, Selden was the brother of Mrs. Eliza Barrymore.
