        <description><![CDATA[In Ch. 4 Sir Henry Baskerville reports to Sherlock Holmes that one of the boots which he had recently bought and not worn by him even once, had been stolen when he had left the boots outside his hotel room to be cleaned.

"I put them both outside my door last night, and there was only one in the morning. I could get no sense out of the chap who cleans them. The worst of it is that I only bought the pair last night in the Strand, and I have...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Ch.2 of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles we learn that Sir Charles was in the habit of smoking a cigar before he went to bed. Dr. James Mortimer reads to Sherlock Holmes the article dated 14th May from the Devon County Chronicle,

“The facts of the case are simple. Sir Charles Baskerville was in the habit every night before going to bed of walking down the famous Yew Alley of Baskerville Hall. The evidence of the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[While Sir Charles Baskerville stood by the gate, waiting to meet a lady, he smoked.
We know that he smoked for at least five or ten minutes because he had dropped ash twice from his cigar.
Sir Charles was there to meet Laura Lyons, with whom he had fallen in love.  She didn't really love him, though.  She was using him.
She was in love with the man who called himself Jack Stapleton.  She thought he would marry her if she got a divorce.  He...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think your question is asking why Selden is a danger to the Stapletons.  I have edited it to show this idea.  I hope that is right.
In the story, Jack Stapleton has killed Sir Charles Baskerville and is now trying to kill Sir Henry Baskerville, who has arrived to take over the Baskerville estate after Charles' death.  Stapleton is using a huge hound, which he keeps out on the moors, as a way of explaining and causing the deaths.

"[He] was a small, alert, dark-eyed man about thirty years of age, very sturdily built, with thick black eyebrows and a strong,pugnacious face. He wore a ruddy-tinted tweed suit, and had the weather-beaten appearance of one who has spent most of his time in the open air, and yet there was something in his steady eye and the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Baskerville estate is on the moors in the west of England.  While this location may not seem particularly evocative in itself, to the people living in England in Conan Doyle's time it meant that the Baskervilles lived in a remote and, frankly, somewhat spooky place.  Parts of the west of England during the Victorian and Edwardian eras were woefully underserved by education for the common people, and prejudice against western (read:...]]></description>
