下文改编自阿瑟•柯南•道尔的小说《巴斯克维尔的猎犬》阅读短文,回答问题
"There's someone in there," cried Lestrade. "I can hear a movement. Open the door!" Holmes kicked the door down, and we all rushed in. We expected to see Stapleton, but he was not there. The room had been made into a kind of museum for Stapleton's butterflies and insects, but tied to a post in the centre of it was a bundle of blankets which turned out to be Mrs. Stapleton. A cloth had been tied around her neck and another across her mouth so that she could not speak. We untied her. She was weak and exhausted but managed to say, "Has he escaped? Is he safe?"
"He cannot escape us, madam."
"I do not mean my husband. Is Sir Henry safe?"
We assured her that he was and told her that the hound was dead. She began to cry. "I have been a fool! I knew that he was trying to kill Sir Henry with the dog, and I should have stopped him, but I couldn't." "Tell us where he is, Madam," said Holmes.
"There is only one place. It is an old tin mine in the middle of Grimpen Mire, where he kept his hound." Questions:
1. Who did they expect to see?
2. What was the room like?
3. Who was tied to a post?
4. How did Stapleton want to kill Sir Henry?
5. What is the meaning of the "hound"?
