My Dear Holmes,                                                                          15th October

Events are now crowding thich and fast upon us. Before breakfast on
the morning following my adventure, I inspected the room where
Barrymore had been signalling and found that it commanded the nearest
outlook to the moor. Had Barrymore been signalling to some lover? This
would explain his wife's tears & the unlocking of the door as he went
out to greet his lover in the middle of the night. He is a striking-
looking fellow, well-equipped to steal the heart of a country girl.
