"a huge expanse" [HOUN]  Credit: Wikimedia Commons CC BY-SA 4.0  There are four main characters in The Hound of the Baskervilles: Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, the hound, and the moor. [Record scratch SFX]   Yes, the moor. Inspired by a clip from an old IHOSE episode, we explore why this ever-present setting looms large in the story, both when it's explicitly mentioned and when it's not. It's just a Trifle.  If you have a question for us, please email us at [email protected].
