The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter 15: A Retrospection — The Final Chapter, by Arthur Conan Doyle | A Calming Bedtime Story for Sleep & Insomnia | Books at Bedtime A calming bedtime story to help you fall asleep — the fifteenth and final chapter of The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, read slowly and softly for anyone lying awake in the small hours. The moor is behind us. It is the end of November, and Holmes and Watson are back where they began — either side of a blazing fire in the sitting room at Baker Street, on a raw and foggy London night. Over the course of one long evening, Holmes finally sets out the whole of it: who Stapleton really was, where he came from, how the hound was bought and hidden, and every quiet step of a plan that had been running long before anyone thought to look for one.

The danger has passed, nothing more can go wrong, and all that is left is a warm room, a good fire and a friend explaining things patiently in the dark. Conan Doyle ends not on the moor but on an ordinary evening out — a box at the opera, and dinner on the way. There is no need to follow the reasoning tonight, and no need to reach the end. Let the rhythm of the Victorian prose and the quiet of that Baker Street fireside do the work while your body settles. If you drift off in the first few minutes, that is exactly what this reading is for.
