Watson is suspicious of Barrymore and heads to the post office to find out whether Holmes' telegram was given directly to Barrymore. Watson finds out...

• ...that the postmaster's son gave the telegram to Barrymore.

• ...that the postmaster's son left the telegram at the entrance to Baskerville Hall because no one answered the door.

• ...that the postmaster's son lost the telegram on his way to Baskerville Hall

• ...that the postmaster's son gave the telegram to Mrs. Barrymore.

This makes Watson wonder whether Barrymore had killed Sir Charles and if he did, whether he was working on his own or for someone else. Then, many more questions pop into Watson's head. He asks himself all of the following EXCEPT:

• Why would Barrymore want to harm the Baskervilles?

• Did Barrymore write the letter warning Sir Henry to stay away from the moor at night?

• Was Barrymore trying to help Sir Henry and thus wrote the letter to keep Sir Henry from danger in Devonshire?

• Were the postmaster and his son telling the truth about the telegram?

Which of the following quotes from the novel BEST shows the reader that Watson is worried in Chapter 7?

• “The only conceivable motive was that which had been suggested by Sir Henry, that if the family could be scared away a comfortable and permanent home would be secured for the Barrymores.”

• “Already round this pale-faced, handsome, black-bearded man there was gathering an atmosphere of mystery and gloom. It was he who had been the first to discover the body of Sir Charles, and we had only his word for all of the circumstances which led up to the old man’s death.”

• “I prayed, as I walked back along the grey, lonely road, that my friend might soon be freed from his preoccupations and able to come down to take this heavy burden of responsibility from my shoulders.”

• ...her "tell-tale eyes were red and glanced at me from between swollen lids.”
