The Hound of the Baskervilles
Arthur Conan Doyle
6/133
I am reading The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle for my Quarter 1 Book Report. In the book, James Mortimer came to visit Sherlock Holmes. The first time when James Mortimer came to Holmes's house, they didn't get to meet each other. But, Dr Mortimer has forgot his staff at Holmes' house. So in the beginning of the book, Dr Watson, who is Sherlock's dear friend, tries to find out about James Mortimer by his staff.
Staff: To James Mortimer, MRCS, from his friends of the CCH, 1884.
Watson's Hypothesis about James Mortimer
-Successful, elderly medical man (recieved staff of appreciation)
-Done great amount of walking (thick iron ferrule/cap worn out)
-CCH stands for somthing Hunt
After Sherlock takes a look at the staff, he states something different
-CCH stands for Charing Cross Hospital (Medical Directory)
-House surgeon/physician (Medical Directory)
-Left CCH five years ago (1884)
-Under thirty years old
-Owns a dog bigger than a terrier and smaller than a mastiff (bites on the staff)
-Amiable, unambitious, absent-minded (information summed up)
Sherlock and Watson finally meets James Mortimer and he seems to be very interested in Sherlock's skull. Mortimer explains about Sir Charles Baskerville who met tragic death some three months ago. James Mortimer was Sir Baskerville's personal friend and his medical attendant. He is a strong minded man, but he took one document very seriously and got over taken by it.
A part when Sherlock was blurting out what he found out about James Mortimer, I was very thrilled. I could just hear him talking so fast, as if he was reading a textbook in a great speed. I believe that Arthur Conan Doyle made the readers feel the same way as me, by making run on sentences with many commas. It was very exciting to 'hear' Sherlock Holmes.
1 Unknown word was 'piqued'. It is to get irritated from a wound, especially a wound of pride.
Sentence from the book: He had never said as much before, and I must admit that his words gave me keen pleasure, for I had often been piqued by his indifference to his methods.
