No.4  THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES

Excerpt from chapter 3. Dr Watsons speaks:

”My first impression as I opened the door was that a fire had broken out, for the room was so filled with smoke that the light of the lamp upon the table was blurred by it. As I entered, however, my fears were set at rest, for it was the acid fumes of strong coarse tobacco which took me by the throat and set me coughing”.
