  Tampering with a noted classic like The Hound Of The Baskervilles is a dangerous way to earn a living as a novelist. Most writers would end up being arrested by Scotland Yard for desecrating a masterpiece.

Proper noun: the film of the book

• 1996 July 6, Rob Flemen <rflemen@monmouth.com>, “Re: Favorite Rathbone/Bruce Films”, in alt.fan.holmes‎^[2] (Usenet), message-ID <35A17292.15822E1D@monmouth.com>:

  I personally like The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Scarlet Claw, and The Adventures..., mostly because they were period. I don't like Holmes fighting Nazi's, or driving cars, etc. They are good films, but I wish they would have used Rathbone in more accurate interpretations of Doyles stories. Nigel Bruce would have been a better Watson, if they didn't insist on making him a bumbling idiot.

Proper noun: the case solved by Sherlock Holmes

  We used to have lots of cats, coyotes, etc wandering around here (Hudson Valley, New York State). Our solution was a dog with a big bark. Now I only predators WAY off in the distance. His bark chased the squirrels that lived in the attic, too. There are shepherding and guarding breeds that will not make constant racket but instinctively know when to woof it up to chase predators. Our monster is half Great Pyrennes and half Collie. He's a gentle, sweet dog with a bark that sounds like the Hound of the Baskervilles. We did lose one chicken to a woodchuck, but since we got Willie we're down from 3-6 woodchucks living around here to one.

  Slightly O.T., but on the subject of wind noise, did you know that the cross-bars of the ('92-'96) Plymouth Voyager / Dodge Caravan roof rack are symetrical, but not reversable? Maybe I'm not saying that well, but they'll go on either way, and they look the same either way, but they will howl like The hound of the Baskervilles if you don't have the arrows facing forward. Leave it to Chrysler to build it that way.

  Suddenly we heard the sounds of a big dog making a lot of racket. Turned out to be a small dog with a big mouth. The huskies appeared running flat out, with Chuckles in hot pursuit. I'd never heard him in attack mode before, but he sounded like the Hound of the Baskervilles. He chased them all the way back to their camper before he turned around and came back. The owner rushed off to comfort his big chow hounds.

Proper noun: a black dog

  Okay, the mysterious black dogs of England have always been of interest to me (even before I encountered the Hound of the Baskervilles and Padfoot).
