He might have wanted you to remember that little things do matter. 6.A significant passage in The Hound of the Baskerviles is when Sherlock and Watson are standing over the dead body of who they think is Sir Henry.

Therefore Mr. Stapleton mistook the convict for Sir Henry when he was trying to kill him. This proved to Sherlock and Watson that Stapleton was after Sir Henry. 7.Three Questions i would ask Arthur

Conan Doyle would be 1. When you created the character Sherlock Holmes was it based upon a live person skilled in detective work or an imaginary being? 2.

Why was there no hound prints near the body of Sir Charles when it says that the hound walked up to him and sniffed him? 8.
