In chapter 10 (Extract from the Diary of Dr. Watson), Watson was wondering about the Hound and where it would live. Later Sir Henry was arguing with Barrymore about his brother Selden' crimes. But Barrymore said that he will not commit anymore crimes and will leave as soon as the first ship for South America came. So, Henry and Watson agreed and Barrymore told Watson that before he died, Sir Charles went to the gate to meet a woman and his wife discovered a letter with the initials LL about a late night meeting.
In chapter 11 (The Man on the Tor), Watson left Henry and went to go meet Laura Lyon (LL) and she admitted that Sir Charles supported her with money and that she wrote to him once or twice. When Watson wanted to know more she said that she wasn't very involved with him and that Stapleton told them about each other. She also said that the letter was for Sir Charles to get her out of a bad marriage and that she had got help from someone else now. So when Watson was going home he saw Mr Frankland and they had wine together. But while they were drinking, they saw a boy at the moor. So Watson left and tried to follow him and found his hut with a note that said that he had gone to Coombe Tracey. Then he heard footsteps around him and someone greeted him.
In chapter 12 (Death on the Moor) and chapter 13 (Fixing the Nets) Watson recognized the voice and quickly found out that it was Holmes. What he was curious about is how he found the hut. So he sad that he saw Wastsons cigarette brand on the floor. Holmes later told Watson that after some investigation, he found out the Stapleton seduced Laura Lyons and used her to lure Charles onto the moor to die. So they visited Laura again but while going there, someone screamed on the moor and the convict was there with Barrymore's clothes and thats why he was killed by Stapleton's dog. Then Stapleton came and asked who it was and found out who it was and explained why he was there. Stapleton invited him to come over. At the end of the chapter, Stapleton went home and Holmes and Watson went home. On their way, they were talking about what to do with Stapleton because he clearly looked guilty but Holmes said to wait to arrest him because there was no good proof for his conviction. Holmes also had a plan and told Sir Henry to have his dinner with Stapleton and not invite them. Later they went to Laura Lyon's home and told her what happened. Then Laura told the truth of what really happened. Stapleton offered to marry her if she got her divorce and he wrote Lura a letter and told her to miss the appointment scheduled and told her to not tell anyone.
