Hounds of Baskerville
Aiding and abetting a felony”

This phrase refers to Watson and Henry because they were aware that the escaped convict, Seldon, was just within their grasps. Because that they had found that Seldon was Barrymore’s brother, they decided that they should be kind-hearted towards the family. This promise was not kept when Watson and Henry were out of the sight of the Barrymore’s during the night; they chased down Seldon but lost him in the darkness.

Barrymore

Barrymore was of great importance of the novel because he served as the red herring. He was known as the main suspect until Henry and Watson discovered the reason he traveled to the same window every night. This gave Stapleton time to plan his next kill, which would appear to be on Sir Henry Baskerville. In the novel, he was the Baskerville family’s butler, Seldon’s brother, and the wife of Elizabeth Barrymore.

Charles Baskerville

Sir Charles Baskerville’s death was what started the mystery in the novel. He was at the Yew alley waiting for Laura Lyons when the hound leaped into the alley and frightened Baskerville until his heart could not take it any longer. His heart failed (most likely because of his heart condition) and he died in the alley with no scratch on him.

Dartmoor

Dartmoor was a small area of Devonshire where all the clues of the mystery were unraveled. Dartmoor was where all the suspects and Baskerville Hall were. The mystery started here with the death of Sir Charles in a yew alley.

Elizabeth Barrymore

Elizabeth Barrymore did not have a large roll in the story but she got herself or her husband to deliver leftover food to Seldon whenever he was around Baskerville Hall. In order to see if Seldon was around, she got her husband to shine a light out of the window overlooking the moor. She served as the wife of Barrymore in the novel.

If Poirot was not a good detective, the Clarke could have gotten away. If Cust wasn’t so self-blaming, then maybe he would have caught on faster and realized who was the true murderer.

    "Dances With Wolves,"� started off in St. David's Field, Tennessee, in 1863. During the Civil War, Lieutenant John J. Dunbar tried to commit suicide by riding right into the path of the Confederate States of America, but instead of being killed, he inspired the rest of the Union to fight, and they won the battle. After the battle, Dunbar was given the choice to any assignment he wanted, and chose to go out West. When he went to his post, he found it empty, but had plenty of provisions for everyone that he thought was there. But, being a true soldier, decided to wait for the other troops. None of them showed up. After a while, he found Indians, who didn't know whether to kill him or make peace with him. Dunbar, however, decided to go make peace, and while riding out to meet them, found an Indian woman trying to commit suicide. He stopped her, and carried her back to the Indian village. The Indians and he both made peace with each other, and became very good friends, giving each other food and clothing. Eventually, the Lieutenant learned the language of the Indians, and also found out that the woman that he saved spoke English, so that they could communicate. The Lieutenant found a friend, which was a wolf, and became friendly with it, letting it eat from his hand. From this knowledge, the Indians named Dunbar, "Dances With Wolves"�. From then on, he helped the Sioux Indians fight against the Pawnee, by giving them guns. During this time, the Indian woman who was actually white but was raised as an Indian and Dances With Wolves fell in love and married. Then, Dances With Wolves told the Indians that more white men were coming, so they moved camp. But Dances With Wolves forgot his journal at his post, and went back to get it, telling the Indians that he would catch up. When he arrived at the post, he found soldiers, who mistook him for an Indian, so they beat him up and chained him.…

    The sensational novel is usually a tale of our own times. Proximity is indeed one great element of sensation. A tale which aims to electrify the nerves of the reader is never thoroughly effective unless the scene be laid out in our own days and among the people we are in the habit of meeting. In keeping with mid-Victorian themes, Lady Audley’s Secret is closely connected to the street literature and newspaper accounts of real crimes. The crimes in Braddon’s novel are concealed and secret. Like the crimes committed by respected doctors and trusted ladies, the crimes in Lady Audley’s Secret shock because of their unexpectedness. Crime in the melodrama of the fifties and sixties is…
