In chapter 4 (Sir Henry Baskerville) Mortimer and Henry Baskerville arrived at Holmes' apartment. Henry told Holmes that when he arrived in London, he received a letter at his hotel telling him to stay away from the "moor." From this letter, Holmes was sure that someone was following him and the writer was using a hotel pen and newspaper clippings to write it. Henry was then asked about anything strange that happened to him and he replied that when he went to shine his shoes, someone stole one. After that, the men left and Holmes rushed to find who might be following Henry and he found him staking out in a cab but once he spotted Watson he left. From the cab, all Holmes was able to observe was the number 2704.
In chapter 5 (Three Broken Threads) Holmes went to Henry's hotel and had a hunch that the thief of the boots was involved in the case. Henry also announced that he was going to Devonshire and Holmes told him that he might need a bodyguard and told Watson to accompany him. Then, as he was getting ready to go, Henry's shoe reappeared. Holmes also suspected that a man with a full black beard was there and found out that a man named Barrymore fit that description. At the end of the chapter they contacted the cab company and found that one of the men called himself Sherlock Holmes and directed a driver.
In chapter 6 (Baskerville Hall) Watson and Henry leave. At the train station they meet police officers looking for and escaped fugitive but after some talking they finally get to Baslkerville Hall. At the hall Barrymore announced his intention to start a business with the money he inherited from Sir Charles's death.
