1. Dear Mr Holmes: We were told that a dangerous escaped prisoner is out there somewhere, after that we were well received by the Barrymores, I could not sleep the first night because of the sound of a crying woman. The next morning I told that to Mr Barrymore and he said that it could not be a woman, then we met Stapleton who invited us to go to his house and Miss Stapleton thought I was Sir Henry, warned me about some kind of danger and told me to return to London. Later we found out that the escaped prisoner was actually Mrs Barrymore's brother and they were bringing him food at night, he would soon take a boat to South America.
