That evening Holmes and I drove across the moor until we could see the lights of the Stapletons' house in front of us.Then we got out and began to walk very quietly along the path towards the house.When we were very close，Holmes told me to stop.He took his revolver(左轮手枪) from his pocket，and I did the same.

　　“We shall hide behind these rocks，” he whispered.“Watson, you know the house，so I want you to go forward and look through the windows.I want to know where the Stapletons and Sir Henry are，and what they are doing.”

　　Very carefully and quietly I moved towards the house.I looked first into the dining room window.Mr.Stapleton and Sir Henry were sitting and smoking their cigars，but there was no sign of Miss Stapleton.

　　I went back to the dining room window, and as I looked in again, Mr.Stapleton left the room and came out of the house.He went to a hut beside the house, and unlocked the door.I heard a strange sound coming from the hut，but I could not think what was making the noise.

　　I went back to Holmes and told him what I had seen.He wanted to know where Miss Stapleton was, and I had to tell him twice that there was no sign of her in the house.

　　The moon was shining on the Great Grimpen Marsh,

　　and a fog was rising from it.Holmes watched the fog and began to look worried.The fog was creeping up from the marsh towards the house.We were hidden near the path, which was on the far side of the house from the marsh.
