Who is Frankland? Describe him.

Frankland is one of the Baskerville's neighbors and owns Lafter Hall. He is described as eccentric, wealthy, and well educated. Frankland is initially a suspect in the murder investigation.

"He is an elderly man, red-faced, white-haired, and choleric. His passion is for the British law, and he has spent a large fortune in litigation. He fights for the mere pleasure of fighting and is equally ready to take up eitherside ofaquestion, sothatit isnowonderthat he has found it a costly amusement."

"Apart from the law he seems a kindly, good-natured person, and I only mention him because you were particular that I should send some description of the people who surround us. He is curiously employed at present, for, being an amateur astronomer, he has an excellent telescope, with which he lies upon the roof of his own house and sweeps the moor all day in the hope of catching a glimpse of the escaped convict."
