Document Summary
Hound of the baskervilles chapter 7-the end of chapter 10. Chapter 6 mostly gives a description of the drive from the train station to the hall, not so much the hall itself. Added menace on the moor because of the armed men looking for the escaped convict. What is in the moor: the grimpen mire (the bog, we see a pony drown in it. This person was standing on the top of a hill on the top of a rocky outcrop: tor: the (cid:396)o(cid:272)k(cid:455) out(cid:272)(cid:396)ops of hills. It is settled and has houses from place to place, but there is not much indication of development. If you are in baskerville hall, you are surrounded by the moor and darkness at night, and by these forces of menace (the dangers of the moor) such as the escaped convict. Although a moor is a relatively undomesticated space, conan doyle has elevated the possibilities of danger and menace associated with the space.
