[00:00.589]	8 The Stapletons of Pen House
[00:05.773]	The next morning was sunny，
[00:08.125]	and we were much more cheerful．
[00:10.033]	I told Sir Henry about the crying I had heard．
[00:14.227]	He rang the bell to call Barrymore，
[00:17.140]	and asked him if he could explain the crying．
[00:19.428]	Barrymore's face went white when he heard Sir Henry's question．
[00:23.740]	‘There are only two women in the house，Sir Henry，’he answered． “
[00:28.748]	‘One is the maid，who sleeps on the other side of the house． “
[00:33.862]	The other is my wife，and she was certainly not crying．’
[00:38.339]	But he was telling a lie．
[00:41.574]	I saw Mrs Barrymore after breakfast．
[00:45.206]	The sun was full on her face，and it was clear she had been crying．
[00:50.467]	Why had Barrymore lied？
[00:55.326]	What deep sadness had made his wife cry？
[00:59.400]	There was a mystery surrounding this black- bearded，handsome man．
[01:04.026]	Was it possible that Barrymore was in fact the man who had been watching Sir Henry in London？
[01:10.438]	I decided I must check with the local post office that the telegram had really been put into Barrymore's own hands．
[01:18.268]	While Sir Henry worked at some papers，
[01:22.316]	I walked to the post office．
[01:24.224]	It was in the nearest village，which was called Grimpen．
[01:27.907]	I spoke to the boy who had taken the telegram to the Hall．
[01:32.272]	‘Did you give it to Mr Barrymore himself？’I asked． “
[01:36.964]	‘Well，’the boy said， “
[01:40.043]	‘he was working upon the roof，so I couldn't give it to him．“
[01:44.615]	I gave it to Mrs Barrymore，
[01:46.486]	and she promised to give it to him at once．’
[01:48.904]	‘Did you see Mr Barrymore？’I asked him． “
[01:52.434]	‘No，’said the boy，
[01:54.095]	‘but why did his wife say he was upon the roof if he wasn't？’ “
[01:58.375]	It was hopeless to ask any more questions．
[02:01.849]	It was clear that Holmes' cleverness with the telegram had not given us the proof we needed．
[02:08.200]	I was walking away from the post office when I heard someone running after me．
[02:15.038]	A voice called me by name，
[02:17.716]	and I turned．
[02:18.944]	I expected to see Dr Mortimer，as I knew nobody else in the village．
[02:23.301]	To my surprise it was a stranger．
[02:28.044]	He was a small，thin man，
[02:29.930]	between thirty and forty years old，with fair hair and no beard．
[02:35.141]	He was carrying a butterfly net，and a box for putting butterflies in．
[02:39.663]	‘I hope you will excuse me for introducing myself，Dr Watson，’ “
[02:45.933]	he said as he came up to me．
[02:48.025]	‘My name is Stapleton． “
[02:50.025]	I was in Dr Mortimer's house and we saw you．
[02:53.176]	He told me who you are．
[02:55.393]	May I walk along with you？
[02:57.721]	This path back to the Hall goes near my home，Pen House．
[03:03.493]	Please come in and meet my sister，and spend an hour with us．’
[03:07.585]	I accepted Stapleton's invitation，and we walked together．
[03:13.161]	‘I know that you are a close friend of Sherlock Holmes，’ “
[03:17.539]	said Stapleton．
[03:19.023]	‘Has Mr Holmes any ideas about Sir Charles death？’ “
[03:22.753]	‘I'm afraid I can't answer that question，’I said． “
[03:27.916]	‘Will Mr Holmes visit us himself？’he asked． “
[03:31.156]	‘He can't leave London at the moment，’I answered． “
[03:35.217]	I was rather surprised that he was asking me these questions
[03:39.435]	We walked on．
[03:41.507]	Stapleton told me that he and his sister had lived in Devonshire for only two years．
[03:47.374]	They had moved there soon after Sir Charles had begun to live in Baskerville Hall．
[03:51.938]	He also talked about the moor and how it interested him．
[03:56.542]	He told me to look across the moor to a place which was a bright green colour．
[04:02.073]	‘That is the Great Grimpen Marsh，’he said “
[04:06.709]	‘If animals or men go into the marsh，they will sink into it and die． “
[04:11.156]	But I can find my way to the very centre of it．
[04:14.809]	Look，there is another of those poor horses．’
[04:18.355]	Something brown was fighting to get out of the bright green of the marsh．
[04:23.792]	Then a terrible cry came across the moor．
[04:27.524]	The horse's head and neck disappeared under the green．
[04:30.956]	‘It's gone，’Stapleton said．‘The marsh has caught and killed it．That often happens．It is an evil place，the Great Grimpen Marsh．’
[04:38.176]
[04:39.377]	‘But you say you can go safely in and out of it？’I asked him． “
[04:47.636]	‘Yes，there are a few paths， “
[04:50.750]	and I have found them．
[04:52.751]	The low hills you can see are like islands surrounded by the marsh．
[04:56.835]	That is where I can find the unusual plants and butterflies．
[05:00.489]	And that's why I found my way through the marsh．’
[05:03.636]	‘I shall try my luck one day，’I said． “
[05:06.841]	He looked at me in surprise．
[05:10.148]	‘Please don't try，’he said．
[05:12.543]	‘You would never return alive，and it would be my fault．’
[05:15.665]	‘Listen，’I said．‘What is that？’
[05:20.708]	A long，low cry，very deep and very sad，came over the moor．
[05:27.305]	It filled the whole air．Then it died away．
[05:31.655]	‘What is it？’I asked，with a cold fear in my heart．
[05:37.689]	Stapleton had a strange look on his face．
[05:44.151]	‘The people say it's the Hound of the Baskervilles，
[05:48.163]	which is calling for something to hunt and kill．
[05:50.692]	I've heard it once or twice before，
[05:55.099]	but never so loud．’
[05:56.602]	‘You are a man of science，’I said． “
[05:58.859]	‘You don't believe that，do you？ “
[06:01.208]	Isn't there a natural explanation for the sound？’
[06:03.929]	‘A marsh makes strange noises sometimes． “
[06:07.932]	It is the water and the wet ground moving．’
[06:10.423]	‘But that was the voice of a living creature，’I said． “
[06:14.381]	‘Well，perhaps it was．
[06:15.989]	There are some very unusual birds on the moors．
[06:19.701]	It was most probably the cry of one of those．’
[06:23.539]	At that moment a small butterfly flew across the path in front of us．
[06:29.093]	‘Excuse me，Dr Watson，’shouted Stapleton， “
[06:33.323]	and ran off to try to catch the butterfly．
[06:36.602]	He ran quickly and followed the butterfly on to the marsh，
[06:41.483]	but he knew exactly where he could go，
[06:43.690]	and was not in any danger．
[06:45.508]	As I watched him，I heard the sound of steps behind me．
[06:50.148]	I turned and saw a woman near me on the path．
[06:54.208]	I was sure she was Miss Stapleton．
[06:57.239]	She was very beautiful．She was dark and tall，with a lovely face．
[07:02.688]	Before I could say anything，she said：
[07:05.303]	‘Go back！Go straight back to London，immediately． “
[07:09.095]	I can not tell you why，but please do what I ask you，
[07:12.511]	and never come near the moor again．
[07:15.042]	But my brother is coming．Not a word to him．’
[07:18.899]	Stapleton had caught the butterfly，
[07:21.852]	and was walking bath to us．
[07:23.819]	‘Hello，my dear，’he said to his sister， “
[07:28.248]	but it seemed to me that his voice was not completely friendly．
[07:32.037]	‘I see that you two have already introduced yourselves．’ “
[07:35.862]	‘Yes，’she said．
[07:39.003]	‘I was telling Sir Henry that it was rather late in the year for him to see the true beauty of the moor．’ “
[07:45.011]	”
[07:45.214]	‘I am sorry，’I said． “
[07:49.636]	‘You have made a mistake．I'm not Sir Henry． “
[07:51.592]	I am a friend who is visiting him，and my name is Dr Watson．’
[07:57.606]	Miss Stapleton was clearly angry with herself．
[08:01.872]	‘I'm sorry，’ she said． “
[08:04.403]	‘Please forget what I said． “
[08:06.828]	But do come with us to our house．’
[08:09.548]	The house was lonely and rather grim．
[08:13.307]	I wondered why the two of them had come to live so far away from anyone else．
[08:18.534]	Stapleton seemed to know what I was thinking，and said：
[08:22.299]	‘You may think this a lonely，strange place to live， “
[08:26.443]	but the moors are very interesting，and we enjoy it here．
[08:29.997]	I owned a school in the north of England，
[08:33.538]	but I had to close it．
[08:35.500]	I miss the boys and girls but thefe is plenty to do here，
[08:39.580]	and we have good neighbours．
[08:41.105]	I hope Sir Henry will become one of tnem．
[08:44.177]	May I visit the Hall this afternoon to meet him，do you think？’
[08:48.537]	‘I'm sure he will be very pleased to meet you，’I said． “
[08:52.725]	‘I must go back to the Hall now，and I shall tell him immediately．’ “
[08:56.507]	I said goodbye to the Stapletons，
[09:00.298]	and continued on the path back to the Hall．
[09:03.115]	I had been walking for only a few minutes when I was surprised to see Miss Stapleton sitting on a rock ahead of me．
[09:10.514]	She was breathing quickly，
[09:12.614]	and I realized she had run by a quicker way to get ahead of me．
[09:16.539]	‘Dr Watson，’she said． “
[09:19.919]	‘I want to say sorry for the mistake I made． “
[09:23.195]	I thought you were Sir Henry．
[09:25.552]	Please forget what I said．
[09:27.406]	I did not mean you were in danger．
[09:30.335]	Now I must go，or my brother will miss me．’
[09:34.423]	‘I cannot forget your words，Miss Stapleton，’I said．‘If Sir Henry is in danger，I must tell him．’
[09:41.714]
[09:42.644]	‘You know the story of the Hound？’she asked me． “
[09:46.623]	‘Yes，but I do not believe it，’I replied． “
[09:50.931]	‘But I think it's true，’she said． “
[09:54.276]	‘Please persuade Sir Henry to leave this place． “
[09:57.355]	So many of his family have died here mysteriously．
[10:00.757]	He must not put his life in danger by staying here．’
[10:04.210]	‘Sir Henry won't leave this place without a real reason，’I said． “
[10:08.869]	‘I can't give you a real reason．I don't know anything for certain．’ “
[10:13.316]	‘One more question，Miss Stapleton，’I said． “
[10:17.087]	‘The story of the Hound is well known． “
[10:20.809]	Why didn't you want your brother to hear what you said？’
[10:23.723]	‘My brother wants the head of the Baskerville family to live in the Hall，’she said． “
[10:29.053]	‘He wants Sir Henry to continue the good work that Sir Charles began． “
[10:34.262]	He doesn't want Sir Henry to go and live in another place．
[10:37.044]	So he doesn't want me to talk about the Hound．
[10:40.659]	I must go now，or my brother will guess I have been speaking to you．Goodbye！’
[10:46.512]	She turned and went back towards her house，
[10:51.207]	and I walked on to Baskerville Hall．

[00:00.589]	8格林盆宅邸的斯台普顿兄妹
[00:05.773]	第二天早上阳光明媚，
[00:08.125]	我们也就觉得心情舒畅些了。
[00:10.033]	我对亨利爵士讲述了我所听到的哭声这件事。
[00:14.227]	他摇铃把白瑞摩叫来，
[00:17.140]	问他可否解释哭声的事。
[00:19.428]	听到亨利爵士的问题时白瑞摩变得脸色煞白。
[00:23.740]	亨利爵爷，这个房子里只有两个女人，”他回答道
[00:28.748]	一位是女仆，她睡在对面厢房里。
[00:33.862]	另一位就是我的妻子，她当然没有哭了。”
[00:38.339]	但是他在撒谎。
[00:41.574]	早饭后我见到了白瑞摩夫人
[00:45.206]	阳光普照在她的脸上，清楚地表明她曾哭过。
[00:50.467]	白瑞摩为何要撒谎呢？
[00:55.326]	是什么样的至深的悲伤曾使他的妻子哭泣呢？
[00:59.400]	这个蓄着黑须的英俊男人的周围萦绕着一团疑云。
[01:04.026]	白瑞摩有可能其实就是在伦敦监视亨利爵士的那个人吗？
[01:10.438]	我决定与当地邮局核实一番，看看那封电报是否送到了白瑞摩手中。
[01:18.268]	在亨利爵士处理一些文件时，
[01:22.316]	我便步行去了邮局。
[01:24.224]	它在距此最近的一个名叫格林盆的村庄里。
[01:27.907]	我对把电报投送到庄园的那个男孩说起话来。
[01:32.272]	你把它交给白瑞摩先生本人了吗？”我问道。
[01:36.964]	啊，”小男孩说道
[01:40.043]	他当时正在屋顶上忙乎，所以我没法交给他
[01:44.615]	我便把它交给了白瑞摩太太，
[01:46.486]	她还答应马上就把它交给他。”
[01:48.904]	你看到白瑞摩先生了吗？”我问他。
[01:52.434]	“没看到，”男孩说，
[01:54.095]	要是他不在屋顶上他妻子干嘛要说他在呢？”
[01:58.375]	再继续问下去也是无望的了。
[02:01.849]	很清楚，福尔摩斯在电报上所施的高招并未给我们提供所需的证据。
[02:08.200]	我从邮局出来正往前走着，这时听到身后有人在跑。
[02:15.038]	有人叫我的名字，
[02:17.716]	我便转过身去。
[02:18.944]	因为我在村里并不认识别人，所以我料想着看到的应是摩梯末医生。
[02:23.301]	令我感到吃惊的是，那是位陌生人。
[02:28.044]	他是个矮小瘦削的男人，
[02:29.930]	大约三四十岁年纪，长着淡黄色头发，还没有蓄胡子。
[02:35.141]	他拿着一个捕蝶网和一个用来装蝴蝶的盒子。
[02:39.663]	我希望您会原谅我的冒昧，华生医生，”
[02:45.933]	他走到我跟前对我说道。
[02:48.025]	我叫斯台普顿。
[02:50.025]	当我在摩梯末医生家拜访他时，我们瞥见了您。
[02:53.176]	他就把您告诉给了我。
[02:55.393]	我可以与您同行吗？
[02:57.721]	回庄园的这条路正在格林盆宅邸即我的家附近。
[03:03.493]	请进来见见我妹妹，并与我们呆一会儿。”
[03:07.585]	我接受了斯台普顿的邀请，于是我们便同步而行。
[03:13.161]	我知道您是歇洛克·福尔摩斯的亲密的朋友，”
[03:17.539]	斯台普顿讲道。
[03:19.023]	福尔摩斯先生对查尔斯爵士的死有些看法了吗？”
[03:22.753]	我恐怕不能回答这个问题，”我说道。
[03:27.916]	福尔摩斯先生是否将亲自来这儿光临我们呢？”他问道。
[03:31.156]	目前他还不能离开伦敦，”我回答道。
[03:35.217]	我对他问我这些问题感到很惊讶。
[03:39.435]	我们继续前行。
[03:41.507]	斯台普顿告诉我说，他和他妹妹在德文郡住了两年光景。
[03:47.374]	查尔斯爵士刚住进巴斯克维尔庄园没有多久，他们便搬到那儿了。
[03:51.938]	他还谈到了沼地及其如何激发起他的兴趣的事情。
[03:56.542]	他让我朝沼地的尽头看以眺望一处呈嫩绿色的地方。
[04:02.073]	那就是格林盆大泥潭，”他说道。
[04:06.709]	如果人畜踏进这片泥潭的话，就会陷进去送命的。
[04:11.156]	但是我却能找到通往泥潭中心的道路。
[04:14.809]	瞧，又一匹倒霉的马儿陷进去了。”
[04:18.355]	有个棕色的东西正在竭力挣扎着，想要从那片嫩绿色的泥潭中挣脱出来。
[04:23.792]	接着，从沼地传来一声可怕的吼声。
[04:27.524]	马的头和颈消失在那片绿色之下了。
[04:30.956]
[04:38.176]	“它完了，”斯台普顿道。“泥潭已把它给吞没了。这种情形经常发生。格林盆大泥潭可真是个邪恶的地方。”
[04:39.377]	但是您不是说您能安全地进出其中吗？”我向他问道。
[04:47.636]	是啊，其中有几条道，
[04:50.750]	我都找到了。
[04:52.751]	您所能看到的那些小山就像是被泥潭环绕着的小岛一样
[04:56.835]	那便是我能觅到稀有植物和稀世蝴蝶的处所。
[05:00.489]	而且那便是我为何能在泥潭中找到了路的原因。”
[05:03.636]	某天我也去碰碰运气，”我说道。
[05:06.841]	他带着惊讶的神情看着我。
[05:10.148]	“千万别去试，”他说道。
[05:12.543]	“您是不会活着回来的。那样就是我的错了。”
[05:15.665]	“听听，”我说道。“是什么东西？”
[05:20.708]	一声又低又长、非常深沉、相当悲惨的叫声传遍了整个沼地。
[05:27.305]	它响彻空中，接着便消逝了。
[05:31.655]	“这是什么？”我问道，心里害怕得直打冷战。
[05:37.689]	斯台普顿的脸上带着一种奇怪的神色。
[05:44.151]	“人们说这是巴斯克维尔猎犬
[05:48.163]	它正在召唤猎物。
[05:50.692]	我以前曾听到过一两次，
[05:55.099]	可是声音从没有这么大过。”
[05:56.602]	您是位科学工作者，”我说道。
[05:58.859]	谅您也不会相信这些，是吧？
[06:01.208]	难道对这种声音就没有一个符合自然规律的解释吗？”
[06:03.929]	泥潭有时会发出奇怪的声音。
[06:07.932]	这是由于水和稀泥在移动。”
[06:10.423]	可是那是动物发出的声音呀。”
[06:14.381]	“啊，也许是。
[06:15.989]	沼地上有些稀有鸟类。
[06:19.701]	极有可能是其中某一只的叫声。”
[06:23.539]	那时，一只小蝴蝶从我们面前飞过。
[06:29.093]	对不起，华生医生，”斯台普顿高喊着，
[06:33.323]	同时跑开捉蝴蝶去了。
[06:36.602]	他飞快地跑着，随着那只蝴蝶到了泥潭中，
[06:41.483]	但是他知道自己的脚该落在哪儿，
[06:43.690]	因此便没有什么危险。
[06:45.508]	正当我注视着他的时侯，我听到了身后的脚步声。
[06:50.148]	我转过身去，看到路上离我不远处有一个女子。
[06:54.208]	我敢肯定她便是斯台普顿小姐。
[06:57.239]	她人很漂亮，肤色很深，身材纤长。
[07:02.688]	我还没来得及开口说话，她便说道：
[07:05.303]	回去吧！马上回到伦敦去。
[07:09.095]	我不能告诉您缘由，可是请照我说的去做，
[07:12.511]	千万不要再靠近沼地了。
[07:15.042]	但是，我哥哥来了。对他什么也别说。”
[07:18.899]	斯台普顿已抓到了那只蝴蝶，
[07:21.852]	正向我们这边走回来。
[07:23.819]	你好，我亲爱的，”他对他妹妹说道，
[07:28.248]	可是就我看来他的语气并不怎么友好。
[07:32.037]	我看得出来你们俩已经做过自我介绍了。”
[07:35.862]	“是啊，”她说道。
[07:39.003]	我正和亨利爵士说，他来得太晚了，已经看不到沼地的真正美丽之处了。
[07:45.011]
[07:45.214]	我很抱歉，”我说道。
[07:49.636]	您弄错了。我不是亨利爵士。
[07:51.592]	我是来拜访他的一位朋友，我是华生医生。”
[07:57.606]	斯台普顿小姐显然对自己很懊恼。
[08:01.872]	我很抱歉，”她说道。
[08:04.403]	请忘掉我所说的话。
[08:06.828]	可是，您一定得和我们一道去屋里坐坐。”
[08:09.548]	这所房屋既偏僻又相当阴森。
[08:13.307]	我纳闷他们俩为何到这种与他人相隔甚远的地方来居住。
[08:18.534]	斯台普顿似乎知道我在想些什么，于是便说道：
[08:22.299]	您可能认为这儿要住人的话偏僻和奇特了些，
[08:26.443]	可是这些沼地相当有趣，我们在这儿过得也很快活。
[08:29.997]	我曾在英格兰北部办过一所学校，
[08:33.538]	但是后来被迫关闭了。
[08:35.500]	我很怀念那些孩子们，但在此处有许多事情都有待去做
[08:39.580]	而且我们还有很好的邻居们。
[08:41.105]	我希望亨利爵士也会成为其中的一员。
[08:44.177]	您认为我今天下午可否冒昧地去庄园拜访一下他呢？”
[08:48.537]	我现在得回庄园去了，我还打算立刻告诉他这个消息。”
[08:52.725]	我敢说他一定会高兴见到您的，”我说道。
[08:56.507]	我与斯台普顿兄妹道了别，
[09:00.298]	继续沿着回庄园的那条路向前走。
[09:03.115]	没走几分钟便惊奇地看到斯台普顿小姐正坐在我前边的一块岩石上。
[09:10.514]	她呼吸急促，
[09:12.614]	我意识到她是为了赶在我前面而抄近路跑来的。
[09:16.539]	华生医生，”她说道。
[09:19.919]	因我所犯的错误，我想向您致以深深的歉意。
[09:23.195]	我竟把您当成亨利爵士了。
[09:25.552]	请忘掉我说过的话。
[09:27.406]	我当时并不是说您有危险。
[09:30.335]	现在我得走了，否则的话我哥哥就要挂念我了。”
[09:34.423]
[09:41.714]	“我不会忘记您的话语的，斯台普顿小姐，”我说道。“如果亨利爵士有危险的话，那我就得告诉他。”
[09:42.644]	您知道那个猎犬的故事吧？”她对我问道。
[09:46.623]	知道，但是我并不相信它，”我应答道。
[09:50.931]	可是我认为它是真实的，”她说道。
[09:54.276]	请劝说亨利爵士离开这个地方。
[09:57.355]	他家族中的那么多人都在这儿神秘地死去了。
[10:00.757]	他不应该因呆在这儿而让自己冒生命危险。”
[10:04.210]	没有真正的理由的话亨利爵士是不会离开此地的，”我说道。
[10:08.869]	我给不出真正的理由。我并非确切地知道某些事情。”
[10:13.316]	还有一个问题，斯台普顿小姐，”我说道。
[10:17.087]	猎犬的故事是众所周知的。
[10:20.809]	您为何不愿让您哥哥听到您所说的话呢？”
[10:23.723]	我哥哥想让巴斯克维尔家族的主人在这个庄园里住下来，”她说道。
[10:29.053]	他想叫亨利爵士把查尔斯爵士开创的慈善工作继续下去。
[10:34.262]	他不想让亨利爵士去别处居住。
[10:37.044]	因此他不想让我谈论猎犬的事情。
[10:40.659]	我现在得走了，否则的话我哥哥就会猜到我是在同您谈话了。再见！”
[10:46.512]	她转身往回走去，
[10:51.207]	我便继续向巴斯克维尔庄园走去。
