In Chapter 5, Holmes arranges for Watson to accompany Sir Henry Baskerville to Devonshire while he investigates the stolen boots, the inheritance, and the stranger following Sir Henry. Three lines of inquiry fail, and the cabdriver reveals that the stranger uses Holmes’s own name, showing how carefully this opponent anticipates his moves.
