    This is a transcript from The Hound of the Baskervilles feature length episode from the Return of Sherlock Holmes TV Series. The butler, Mr. Barrymore, has just let his new master, Sir. Henry Baskerville know that he and his wife were planning to leave and open a business (most likely a pub). It is a big deal because the Barrymore family has served the Baskerville family for generations. To assuage any concerns of ill will Sir. Baskerville warmly asks "Might I look forward to you pulling me a pint in your own house one day?" This is also a big deal for the master to suggest that he would visit the servant and be guest in the servant's house. It levels the class difference between the two men. When Sir. Baskerville then says, "Mind you call it Baskerville arms?" he provides an extraordinary gift by offering permission for Barrymore to use his family name, which only he has a right to, as the name of the pub "Baskerville Arms." This is very prestigious and generous offer from a titled nobleman to offer his servant. It should be noted that Sir. Henry Baskerville grew up in the United States and Canada and may be more generous than most in offering this gift. So it is not a negative statement but an offer to let him call his pub "Baskerville Arms."
