“ And when ? ”
“At the end of the week .”
“ Perhaps you are right ,”said Holmes . “I know that you are followed in London and among the millions of this great city it is difficult to discover who the spy is and what he wants . You did not know , Dr. Mortimer , that you were followed this morning ? ”
“Followed !” exclaimed Dr. Mortimer , starting violently . “By whom ?”
“That , unfortunately , I can\'t tell you . Have you among your neighbours or acquaintances (熟人) any man with a large black beard ?” asked Holmes .
“ No ,?/FONT>oh ?/FONT> yes , certainly , Barrymore , Sir Charles\'s servant . He has a large black beard .” replied Dr. Mortimer .
“And where is Barrymore ?”
“He is at the Hall .”
“We must make sure that he is really there .”
“How can we do that ?”
“Give me a telegraph form . Write : ‘ Is all ready for Sir Henry ? ’address to Mr. Barrymore , Baskerville Hall . Which is the nearest telegraph-office ? ”
“Grimpen .”
“Very good . We shall send a second wire to the postmaster at Grimpen：‘ Telegram to Mr. Barrymore deliver into his own hands . If absent , return telegram to Sir Henry Baskerville , Northumberland Hotel .’Then we shall know before evening where Barrymore is . By the way , Dr. Mortimer , who is this Barrymore ?”
“He is the son of the old caretaker (管家) who is dead . He and his wife are a very respectable couple , as far as I know .”
“At the same time it\'s clear ,”said Baskerville , “that while there is nobody at the Hall , they have an easy life .”
“That is true ,” said Waston .
“Did Barrymore get anything by Sir Charles\'s will ?” asked Holmes .
“ He and his wife got 500 pounds each .”
“Did they know that they would receive this ?”
“Yes , Sir Charles liked to talk about his will .”
“That is very interesting . Did anyone else get anything ?”
“He left many small sums to individuals and a large number of public charities . The rest all went to Sir Henry , ”explained Dr. Mo 《高一英语第十单元Sports (体育运动)(第8页)》出自：www.89xue.com网

“And how much was the rest ?”
“Seven hundred and forty thousand pounds . The total value of the estate is almost a million ” answered Dr. Mortimer .
Holmes looked surprised . “ I didn\'t think that he was so rich , ”he said . “That explains some things . I can understand that a man may risk much for such a large sum . Have you made your will , Sir Henry ? ”
“No , Mr. Holmes , I have not . I\'ve had no time for it . You forget I arrived here only yesterday .”
“ Well , Sir Henry , I agree that it\'s best for you to go to your native place without delay , but you certainly must not go alone . ”
“ Dr. Mortimer returns with me . ”
“But Dr. Mortimer has his practice , and his house is some miles away from yours . No , Sir Henry , you must take with you someone who will always be by your side .”
“Could you come yourself , Mr. Holmes ? ”
“That\'s quite impossible . I cannot leave London for an indefinite time , as I am too busy .”
