49059 'We have two hours before we need think of starting.
49060 I think we might employ it in getting some dinner, and then, Lestrade, we will take the London fog out of your throat by giving you a breath of the pure night air of Dartmoor.
49061 Never been there?
49062 Ah, well, I don't suppose you will forget your first visit.'
49063 CHAPTER 14 : The Hound of the Baskervilles
49064 One of Sherlock Holmes's defects - if, indeed, one may call it a defect - was that he was exceedingly loth to communicate his full plans to any other person until the instant of their fulfilment.
49065 Partly it came no doubt from his own masterful nature, which loved to dominate and surprise those who were around him.
49066 Partly also from his professional caution, which urged him never to take any chances.
49067 The result, however, was very trying for those who were acting as his agents and assistants.
49068 I had often suffered under it, but never more so than during that long drive in the darkness.
49069 The great ordeal was in front of us, at last we were about to make our final effort, and yet Holmes had said nothing, and I could only surmise what his course of action would be.
49070 My nerves thrilled with anticipation when at last the cold wind upon our faces and the dark, void spaces on either side of the narrow road told me that we were back upon the moor once again.
49071 Every stride of the horses and every turn of the wheels was taking us nearer to our supreme adventure.
