ANSWERS TO CHAPTERS 15&16

1. Stapleton looks like Sir Hugo.
2. Pretending both, Holmes and Watson , are in London so Stapleton would believe they are far away from Baskerville Hall.

4. Because she would be a suspect as she sent a letter to Charles Baskerville about meeting at the moor gate.

1. Because he was Roger Baskerville's son and if both SIr Charles and Sir Henry were dead, he would inherit the Baskerville title, fortune and land.
2. The phosporus made the dog shine in the dark. He used SIr Henry's old shoe to give the hound SIr Henry's scent and he put the new shoe back because it had no scent on it.
3. He made his wife pretend to be his sister, because he thought she would be more useful to him as a free woman. He made Laura arrange a meeting with SIr Charles outside the Hall at night, so that he could take the hound there and frighten Sir CHarles to death.
4. He tried to escape across the Great Grimpen Marsh but lost his way and sank in the marsh. His body was not found.
