Mason thinks he has gone mad. Sir Robert's sister, Lady Beatrice Falder, owns Shoscombe, but it will revert to her late husband's brother when she dies. The stable has a horse, Shoscombe Prince, who Sir Robert hopes will win the Derby. He would be out of debt if that actually happened. Mason is not quite sure what he wants Holmes to investigate, but a number of odd changes have happened at the stable: - Why has Lady Beatrice suddenly forgone her usual habit of stopping to greet her favourite horse? Why does she just ride on by in her carriage? - Why has Sir Robert become so wild-eyed lately? - Why has he given his sister's dog away to a neighbourhood innkeeper? - Why does he go to the old crypt at night, and who is that man whom he meets there? - Why have burnt human bones been found in the furnace at Shoscombe?
