Holmes then reasons that the hound chased Selden because he was wearing one of Sir Henry's suits that Barrymore had given him and that Stapleton had trained the hound to recognize the scent of Sir Henry using...

• Sir Henry's wallet

Holmes wonders how Selden knew the hound was "on his track" while Watson wonders how Stapleton knew to let the hound loose tonight. As they're thinking, Stapleton shows up and we find out...

• ...that Stapleton was only following orders from Barrymore.

• ...that Stapleton had asked Sir Henry to come to Merripit House for dinner. This answers Watson's question.

• ...that Stapleton had known Holmes was living on the moor.

• ...that Stapleton is leaving for London tomorrow.

“I heard a sharp intake of his breath and the cigar fell from his fingers.”

• scared

• winded

• exhausted

• shocked
