On Tuesday, October 6th, the Stormy Petrels will meet to discuss the next 5 chapters of “The Hound of the Baskervilles”

So much to discuss at Hampton Place, 7:00 pm on Oct. 6th
Enter your name for the book prize draw by answering the following question:
Who is described as “….a heavy, solid person, very limited, intensely respectable, and inclined to be puritanical.”
