Part One: Story of theDoor

Mr Utterson was alawyer in London. Hewas avery serious man, and he

did not often smileor laugh. Helived alone, and hehad avery quiet life. Hisfriends liked himbecausehewas kind. They trusted himwith their secrets.

Oneof Mr Utterson'sclosest friends was Mr RichardEnfield, who was a

relative of his. Mr Utterson and Mr Enfield walked together every Sunday.

They did not say much to each other, but they enjoyed their walks.

OneSunday Mr Utterson was walking with Mr Enfield. They werein a

quiet street of thecity. All thehouses in thestreet wereclean and cheerful,

except for one. Thedoor of this housewas dirty. No oneseemed to livethere.

Mr Enfield looked at thehousefor amoment, and then hesaid to Mr

Utterson,

'Do you seethat house? I know astrangestory, and that houseis part of

thestory.'

'Oh!' said Mr Utterson. 'What is thestory?'

'I'll tell you,' Mr Enfield said. 'Onenight I was walking homealong this

street. It was winter, and it was very late. Therewas nobody in thestreet. I

was frightened. Suddenly I saw two people. Onewas alittlegirl, and the

other was aman. Thelittlegirl was running towards themain street. The

man was walkingdown themain street. They ran into eachother at the

corner, and thelittle girl fell down.

Then something horriblehappened, and I havenever been ableto forget it.

Thelittlegirl was on theground. Theman continued walking. Hewalked

right over thegirl'sbody! Shebegan to screamand cry. It was very

frightening, theway hewalked over her.

'I went after theman, and I brought himback. He was asmall man, I

remember, andtherewas somethingstrangeabout him. I hated himthe

moment I saw him, I don't know why.

'When wecameback to thelittle girl, therewas acrowd in thestreet.

Thegirl's family was there. Therewas also adoctor. Everybody was very

angry. Thegirl was all right, but shewas crying. Her family was very angry

withtheman.

'I hated theman, and I could seethat everybody hated him. We all wanted

to kill him. Wedecided to punish him. I told himthat hehad doneahorrible

thing.

'"Wewill tell everybody," I said. "Y ou will haveno friends when they

know what you did tonight."

'Theman was frightened. Wetold him topay thegirl'sfamily somemoney.

Wetold him to givethefamily onehundred pounds. It was alot of money.

'''Very well," agreed theman, "I will givethefamily onehundred pounds."

'It was lateat night,' Mr Enfield told Mr Utterson. 'It is difficult to find one

hundred pounds in themiddleof thenight. Wewent withtheman, and he

cameto this old house. Heopened thedoor with akey. Hewent inside, and

'"This is very strange," I thought. "Perhaps thechequeis aforgery." I

told theman my suspicions. He laughed at me.

'''Youdon't trust me," hesaid. "I will stay with you until thebank

opens.'"

'So theman stayed with us,' Mr Enfield went on, 'and in themorningwe

all went tothebank. Thebank paid thechequeit was not aforgery, after

all.'

'Oh!' said Mr Uttersonsadly.

'I know what you arethinking,' Mr Enfield said. 'How was it possible for

this terribleman tobeafriend of theman who wrotethecheque? Perhaps

theterrible man is blackmailing him.'

Mr Utterson looked at thehouseagain. Then heasked Mr Enfield a

question. 'Theman who wrotethecheque,' heasked, 'does helivein that

house?'

'No,' said Mr Enfield, 'hedoesn'tlivethere. I discovered that later. Helives

somewhere else.'

'So who actually lives in thehouse?' Mr Uttersonasked.

'I don'tknow,' Mr Enfield said. 'I didn'twant to ask too many questions. I

don't likeasking questions. But I know that thestrangeman uses thehouse

very often. I haveseen himcomein and go out.'

Mr Utterson was silent for amoment. Then hesaid, 'I agreewithyou: it is

best nottoask questions sometimes. But tell me, do you know thenameof

thestrangeman?'

'Y es,' answered Mr Enfield. 'His nameis Mr Hyde.'

'What is helike?' asked Mr Utterson.

'Heis small,' said Mr Enfield, 'and thereis somethingugly about him. I

hated himthemoment I saw him. So did everybody elsethat night.'

'You say that hehad akey to thedoor of this house?' asked Mr Utterson.

'Y es, hedid,' Mr Enfield replied. 'Heopened thedoor with akey.'

Mr Utterson looked sad. Then hesaid, 'I havenot asked you thenameof

theman who wrotethecheque. That is becauseI already know his name.'

Part Two: Search for Mr Hyde

Mr Utterson was unhappy after his walk with RichardEnfield. Hecame

home, and atehis dinner. Then hewent to his safe

. Hetook out alargedocument. Thedocument was Dr Jekyll'swill. Mr Utterson read thewill

carefully. Dr Jekyll's orderswereclear. Heleft his money to his friend, Mr

EdwardHyde. Mr Utterson did not likethis partof thewill. Therewas

another partof thewill whichhedid not like. If Dr Jekyll disappeared or

went away, Mr Hydecould haveall his money.

'Thereis asecret here,' Mr Utterson decided. 'Why does Dr Jekyll want to

givehis money to this Mr Hyde? Dr Jekyll is agood man, and this Mr Hyde

is aterrible man. And what does 'disappearance' mean? Why does my friend

think heis goingto disappear? I will find out thetruth.'

Hedecided to visit Dr Lanyon. Dr Lanyon was also afriend of Dr Jekyll.

'Perhaps heknowssomething,' thought Mr Utterson.

Dr Lanyon was happy to seeMr Utterson. They talked together for a

while. Then Mr Utterson said, 'Wehaveall been friends for along time.

Y ou and I areDr Jekyll's oldest friends, I suppose?'

'I supposeweare,' Dr Lanyon agreed. 'But I don't seeJekyll often these

days.'

'Oh?' said Mr Utterson. 'I thought you had thesameinterests. '

'No!' replied Dr Lanyon angrily. 'I don'tlikeHenry Jekyll'sideas about

science. He has somevery strangeideas. We don't seeeachother often.''Tell me,' said Mr Utterson, 'do you know aman called Hyde?'

Dr Lanyon thought for amoment.

'Hyde?' heasked. 'No, I don't know thename.'

Mr Utterson returned homeafter his visit to Dr Lanyon. Hecould not sleep

that night. He was worried about his friend.

Heremembered Mr Enfield's story about Mr Hydeand thelittle girl.

'I want to seethis Mr Hyde!' hedecided. 'I want to know about his

friendship with Henry J ekyll.'

Mr Utterson went back to theold housevery often now. Hewaited in the

street, and hehoped to seeMr Hyde. Hewent thereevery day, but Mr Hyde

never came.

Onenight Mr Utterson was in thestreet outsidetheold house.

He heard someonein thestreet. Then hesaw aman. Mr Uttersonfollowed

him, and then spoketohim.

'Areyou Mr Hyde?' heasked.

Theman seemed frightened for amoment. Then helooked at Mr Utterson

angrily.

'I amMr Hyde. What do you want?'

'I seethat you aregoing into this house,' said Mr Utterson.

'I amafriend of Dr Jekyllperhaps you will ask meinto thehouse?'

'Dr Jekyll is not at home,' Mr Hydesaid.

'I amglad wehavemet,' Mr Utterson said. 'I shall know you again. It may

beuseful.'

'I amglad, wehavemet, too,' said Mr Hyde. HegaveMr Utterson apiece

of paper with his address written on it.

'Heis thinking of thewill.' Mr Utterson thought. 'Heis glad wemet

becauseof thewill! That'swhy hewants meto know wherehelives.'

Mr Hydeentered thehouse, and closed thedoor behind him.

'I don't likethat man!' thought Mr Utterson. 'Thereis something very

strangeabout him. Poor Henry Jekyll, why haveyou got afriend likethat?'

Thelawyer walked to theend of thestreet, and turned thecorner. The

houses herewerelargeand beautiful. Mr Uttersonstopped and knocked at

thedoor of oneof thehouses. A servant opened thedoor.

'Good evening, Poole,' Mr Utterson said. 'I amlooking for Dr Jekyllis

heat home?'

'Pleasecomein, sir,' theservant said. 'I will seeif Dr Jekyll is at home.'

Poole cameback after afew moments.

'I amsorry, sir,' hetold Mr Utterson. 'Dr Jekyll has goneout.'

'I saw Mr Hydego into thelaboratory,' said Mr Utterson. 'Does heoften

comewhen Dr Jekyll is out?'

'Yes, sir,' Poole answered. 'Mr Hydehas akey to thelaboratory. '

'AreDr J ekyll and Mr Hydegood friends?' asked thelawyer.

'They arevery good friends, sir,' Poole said. 'Wehaveordersto obey Mr

Hyde when hecomes to thelaboratory.'

'I havenever met Mr Hydeat dinner here,' thelawyer said.

'No, sir,' Poole agreed. 'Mr Hydenever dines here. Henever comes to this

part of thehouse. He staysin thelaboratory.'

Mr Utterson thanked theservant, and left thehouse. He was very sad.

'Poor Henry Jekyll!' hethought. 'Helived badly when hewas ayoung man.

Mr Hydemust know somesecret fromthepast. My friend is paying himto

bequiet about thesecret. My poor, poor friend I will help himif I can!'

Two weeks later, Dr Jekyll invited someof his friends to dinner at his

house. Mr Uttersonwas oneof theguests. After theother guestshad gone,

Mr Utterson stayed to talk with his friend.

'I want totalk toyou about something important,' thelawyer said. 'It

concerns your will, Jekyll.'

'I know what you want to say, my friend,' Dr J ekyll told him.

'You'renot happy about my will, areyou?'

'I know something about Mr Hyde,' Uttersonsaid quietly.

'Peoplesay terriblethings about him.'

'You do not understand,' Dr Jekyll said. 'You do not understand my

position. It is very difficult for me'

'Jekyll!' thelawyer interrupted I him. 'Y ou know me: weareold friends.

If you arein trouble, tell methetruth. Perhaps I can help you.'

'Y ou'reagood friend, Utterson,' Dr J ekyll said. 'Thank you for your offer

of help. But you cannot help me. I know you haveseen Mr Hydehetold

me. I aminterested in that man. I trust you to follow theordersin my will.

Promisemethat you will follow them.'

'I will never likeMr Hyde.' thelawyer said.

'I don't ask that,' Dr Jekyll told his friend. 'I ask only that you help him

when I amnothere.'

'Very well,' thelawyer said. 'I will do what you want.'

Part Three: TheCarew Murder Case

Oneyear passed. Then aterriblemurder happened in London. Themurder

shocked peoplebecauseit was very violent

, and becausethevictim was animportantman. Soon everybody was talkingabout it.

A young servant girl described what had happened. Shelived in ahouse

near theriver. Shehad gonetobed at about eleven o'clock onenight. She

could not sleep, and shehad got out of bed. Shesat near thewindow for a

long time. Shesaw an old man who was walking along thestreet. Theold

man had whitehair. Shealso saw another, small man, walking towards the

old man. When thetwo men met, theold man said somethingtothesmall

man. Heseemed to beaskingaquestion. Thegirl could nothear thewords

hespoke, but shesaid that hespokevery politely. Then thegirl recognised

thesmall man. It was Mr Hyde. Sheknew himbecausehesometimes came

tothehousewheresheworked, tospeak toher employer.

Mr Hydewas carryingaheavy stick in his hand. Hedid not answer the

old man'squestion. Suddenly helifted his stick abovehis head, and began to

hit theold man with it. Hehit himagain and again, and theold man fell to

theground. Then Mr Hydeattacked himwherehelay ontheground. The

girl was horrified at theviolenceof theattack, and shefainted.

It was twoo'clock in themorningwhen thegirl wokeup fromher faint.

Shecalled thepoliceimmediately. Themurderer had gone, but theold man

was lyingin thestreet. Thepolicefound apieceof themurderer's stick in the

violent politely employer stick fainted

street next totheold man's body. When they searched thebody, they also

found theold man's wallet andpapers, andaletter.

Theletter was addressed to Mr Utterson, thelawyer.

Thepolicecameto Mr Utterson's housethenext morning.

He becamevery serious when they told himabout themurder.

'I want toseethebody,' hesaid. 'I can say nothinguntil I haveseen the

body.'

Mr Utterson went tothepolicestation. Thepolicehad carried thebody

there.

'Yes,' said Mr Utterson, 'I recognisethis man. It is Sir DanversCarew, the

Member of Parliament. '

'Sir DanversCarew!' thepoliceman said. 'Is it possible?' Helooked at Mr

Utterson. 'This murder will befamous,' hesaid.

'Perhaps you can help us tocatchtheman, Mr Utterson?'

Thepoliceman then told Mr Utterson what thegirl had seen. Mr Utterson

was unhappy when heheardthenameof Hyde. He asked tolook at thepiece

of themurderer'sstick. He recognised it immediately.

'This Mr Hyde,' heasked thepoliceman, 'does thegirl say that hewas a

small man?'

'Shesaysthat heis asmall, ugly man,' thepoliceman said.

'Comewith me,' Mr Utterson said, 'I'll takeyou to Mr Hyde'shouse. I

know wherehelives.'

Mr Utterson and thepoliceman went to thepart of thecity whereMr Hyde

lived. It was adirty, poor partof thecity.

They knocked on thedoor of Mr Hyde's house. An old woman with an

evil faceopened thedoor. Shetold themthat Mr Hydewas out. She

explained that Mr Hydehad comein very latethenight before. Then hehad

goneout again.

'Wewant tosearch his rooms,' thelawyer said. 'This man is Inspector

Newcomen of Scotland Y ard.'

'What has Mr Hydedone?' theold woman asked. 'Why arethepolice

looking for him?'

Theold woman showed thetwo men Mr Hyde's rooms.

They werecomfortablerooms, with elegant furnitureand pictures. The

rooms wereuntidy, however. They found clothes onthefloor, and part of

Mr Hyde'sstick behindthedoor.

Therewas also part of acheque-book in thefire-place.

Someonehad tried toburnit. Mr Uttersonand theinspector went tothe

bank. They discovered that Mr Hyde's bank accountcontained thousands of

pounds.

'Wewill find him, sir,' theinspector told Mr Utterson. 'Hecannot escape

thepolice. Wehavetheevidenceweneed. Wecan provethat heis the

murderer. Wehavehis stick, and weknow wherehis bank is. Wewill wait

for himto go to thebank. Wewill put up pictures of himall over thecity.'

It was not easy to find pictures of Mr Hyde. Hehad no family, and hehad

no friends. Therewas no photograph of himanywhere. Thepeoplewho had

seen himcould notdescribehim.

Everybody agreed that hewas small and ugly but no onecould describe

himaccurately.

It was latein theafternoon when Mr Utterson arrived at Dr Jekyll'shouse.

Theservant Pooletook thelawyer through themain part of thehouseto the

laboratory. It was thefirst timethat Mr Utterson had been to Dr Jekyll's

laboratory. He looked at thescientific apparatus with curiosity.

'Haveyou heard theterrible news?' heasked his friend.

Dr Jekyll looked very unhappy.

'Yes,' hesaid, 'everybody is talking about this murder.'

'Listen to me,' said thelawyer slowly. 'Carew was my client. Y ou arealso

my client. I want tounderstand exactly what has happened. Areyou hiding

Mr Hyde?'

'I will never seeHydeagain!' thedoctor cried. 'I promiseyou, my friend, I

havefinished withthat man. But hedoes not need my help. He has gone,

and no onewill find him.'

'Youseemvery certain,' Mr Utterson said.

'I amcertain,' Dr Jekyll told him. 'No onewill seeHydeagain. But thereis

something else. I need your advice. I havereceived aletter, and I don't know

what to do with it. Will you advise me?'

'Show methis letter,' thelawyer said.

Dr Jekyll gavethelawyer aletter. It was written by EdwardHyde. In his

letter Mr Hydethanked Dr Jekyll for his friendship. Hesaid that hewas

sorry for what hehad done, and that hewas going away.

'Whereis theenvelope?' asked Mr Utterson.

'I burnt theenvelope,' Dr J ekyll told him, 'but theletter was not posted.

'I shall think about theletter,' Mr Uttersonsaid. 'Oneother thing. Was it

Mr Hydewho madeyou writethewill?'

Dr Jekyll looked at his friend. He said nothing, but henodded his head.

'I thought it was him!' thelawyer cried. 'Heplanned tomurder you. He

wanted your money.'

When hewas leavingthehouse, Mr Utterson spoketoPoolefor amoment.

'Someonecamewith aletter for Dr Jekyll today,' hesaid.

'What did theman look like?'

'No onecamewith aletter, sir,' theservant told him.

'Then theletter arrived at thelaboratory, and notat thehouse,' Mr Utterson

thought. 'That is why Poole did not seetheperson who left it.'

That evening Mr Utterson sat with Mr Guest, his head-clerk andfriend.

'This murder of Sir DanversCarew is very sad,' thelawyer said.

'It is, indeed,' Mr Guest agreed. 'It is terrible. Theman who killed him

must bemad.'

'You arean expert oncrimeand detection,' Mr Utterson said.

'I havealetter fromMr Hyde. Pleaselook at it, and tell meabout the

writer of theletter. Do you think heis really mad?'

Mr Utterson took out Mr Hyde'sletter, and passed it to Mr Guest.

Mr Guest studied theletter for afew minutes. Then hesaid, 'Well, sir, the

writer of this letter is not mad. But his writing is strange. I know this writing,

I amsureI do.'

Mr Guest picked up aletter fromDr J ekyll. Heput it next to theletter

'I thought so!' hecried. 'Thesameman wrotethesetwo letters I amsure

'I don't think weshould talk about this to anyone,' Mr Uttersonsaid.

'No, sir,' Mr Guest agreed. 'I understand.'

When hewas aloneagain, Mr Utterson put theletter fromMr Hydeinto

his safe. He was very unhappy.

'Henry Jekyll forged aletter for amurderer!' hethought.

'What haveyou done, my old friend? And why areyou protecting Hyde?'

Part Four: Incident at theWindow

Timepassed, and thepolicecontinued their search for Mr Hyde. They

offered alot of money for informationabout him.They found out about his past. Hehad donemany bad things, and no one

liked him. But they could not discover wherehewas. Therewas no trace

of him.

Mr Utterson began to think that his friend J ekyll was now safe. Hewas

happy that Mr Hydehad disappeared. He saw that anew life was beginning

for Dr Jekyll. Thedoctor saw his friends again, and heseemed cheerful and

contented. For twomonths Dr Jekyll saw his friends nearly every day.

Ontheeighth of January Mr Utterson had dinner at Dr Jekyll's house. Dr

Lanyon was oneof theguests. Mr Utterson called at his friend's houseagain

on thetwelfth of January. Poole said that his employer was not at home. The

lawyer returned onthefourteenth.

'Thedoctor is at home,' Poole told him, 'but hecannot seeanyone. Heis

ill.'

Mr Utterson cameback thenext day, but again hecould not seeJekyll. He

began toworry that something had happened. He decided tovisit Dr Lanyon.

Mr Utterson was very surprised when hesaw Dr Lanyon. Thedoctor looked

very ill. Hewas whiteand very thin.

'Heis dying,' Mr Utterson thought. 'Heis adoctor. Hemust know heis

dying. How sad it is!''I havehad aterrible shock,' Dr Lanyon told him. 'I shall never bewell

again. I will bedead in afew weeks.'

18/42

'Jekyll is ill, too,' Mr Utterson told him. 'I havebeen to his house, but

Poole says heis ill. Haveyou seen him?'

Dr Lanyon's facechanged. 'I will notspeak about that man!'

He said. 'I do not want you tospeak about that man tome. Never

mention his nameto meagain. To me, Jekyll is adead man!'

'Wehaveall been friends for along time,' thelawyer said. 'Can wedo

nothingfor Jekyll?'

'Wecan do nothing for him,' Dr Lanyon said. 'Ask himyourself.'

'Hewill not seeme,' Mr Utterson said.

Dr Lanyon looked at thelawyer very seriously.

'When I amdead, Utterson,' hesaid, 'youmay learn thetruthof this matter.

I cannot tell you now. Pleasedon't talk tomeanymoreabout J ekyll.'

When Mr Utterson got home, hewrotealetter to Dr Jekyll.

Heasked what was wrong withhis friend, and heasked him why hehad

quarreled with Dr Lanyon.

Thenext day hereceived areply fromDr Jekyll. In his letter thedoctor

told himthat hehad decided not to seeanyonein thefuture. Hesaid that he

could notexplain thequarrel withDr Lanyon.

'You must allow meto bealone,' hewrote. 'I havedoneaterrible thing,

and this is my punishment.'

Mr Utterson did not understand Dr Jekyll'sletter. Surely his friend was

safe, now that Mr Hydewas gone? Why did hetalk about 'aterrible thing'

and 'punishment'? Mr Uttersonbegan to think his friend was mad.

Dr Lanyon died about threeweeks later, and Mr Uttersonwent to the

funeral. Hewas sad at theloss of his old friend.

Thenight after thefuneral Mr Utterson received alargeenvelope. The

mention


19/42

19 / 42

writing was Dr Lanyon's. It said:

'PRI VATE: for Mr Utterson.'

Thelawyer opened theenvelope.

It contained asecond envelope. Thewriting onthesecond envelopesaid:

'Open after thedeath or disappearanceof Dr HenryJ ekyll.'

'Disappearance?' thought Mr Utterson. 'What does that mean?'

Then heremembered thewords of thedoctor's will. Therewas something

about 'disappearance' in thewill, as well. Mr Utterson wanted toopen the

mysterious letter, to discover thetruth. But hewas alawyer, and he

decided toobey Dr Lanyon's instructions. Heput theletter in his safe.

Mr Uttersonwent to Dr Jekyll'sseveral times, but henever succeeded in

seeingDr J ekyll. Poole alwaystold him thesamething:

'Thedoctor is in thelaboratory, sir. He will notseeanyone.' It seemed that

thedoctor spent most of his timein thelaboratory now. He slept there

sometimes, according toPoole. SoonMr Uttersonstopped goingtohis

friend's house.

It was useless. Dr Jekyll did not want to seehim. Thedoctor did not want

his help.

OneSunday afternoon, Mr Utterson was walking with Mr Enfield, as

usual. When they cameto theold houseMr Enfield said, 'That story is

finished. No onewill ever seeMr Hydeagain.'

'I hopenot,' Mr Utterson told him. 'But did I ever tell you that I saw Mr

Hydeonce? Y ouremember that you said you hated himwhen you saw him?

I had thesamefeeling myself.'

'Everybody who saw Hydehated him,' Mr Enfield replied.

'But you never told methat this old houseis Dr Jekyll'slaboratoryI

discovered that later.'

'So you know that now, do you?' said thelawyer. 'I amworried about

Jekyll. Let's takealook, shall we?'

Thetwo men entered thegarden of thehouse. They looked up, and they

saw Dr J ekyll. Hewas sittingat oneof thewindows.

Mr Uttersonwalked forward.

'Jekyll!' hecried. 'I hopeyou arebetter.'

'I amnot well,' thedoctor told him. 'I will diesoon, I'msureI will.'

'Y ou need fresh air, my friend,' Mr Utterson said. 'Comeout for awalk

with us. It will do you good.'

'I would liketo, really I would,' Dr Jekyll said. 'But it is impossible. I am

pleased to seeyou, Utterson. I wish I could ask you into thehouseto sit with

me, but I cannot. Thehouseis untidy.'

'We'll stay and talk to you fromhere,' Mr Utterson told him.

'I was goingto suggest that myself,' Dr Jekyll said with asmile. 'That

would makemehappy.'

Just as thedoctor spokethesefriendly words his facechanged.

Thesmileof welcomedisappeared fromit, and an expression of horror

cameover it. Mr Uttersonsaw thechangein his friend'sfaceand then Dr

Jekyll closed thewindow with abang.

Mr Utterson and Mr Enfield walked away fromthehouse. They did not

speak for amoment. Then Mr Utterson turned tohis cousin and said, 'God

forgiveus! God forgiveus!'

Part Five: TheL ast Night

Mr Utterson was at homeoneevening, when Dr Jekyll'sservant cameto

thehouse.'Good evening, Poole,' thelawyer said. 'What can I do for you?' Helooked

at theservantfor amoment.

Poolewas very whiteand frightened.

'What's thematter?' asked Mr Utterson.

'Mr Utterson,' Poole said, 'thereis somethingwrong at Dr Jekyll'shouse. I

amvery worried.'

Mr Utterson gavetheman aglass of wine.

'Drink this,' heordered, 'and try tobecalm. Tell meeverything. Why are

youafraid?'

'I think something has happened tothedoctor,' Poolesaid.

'Something has happened toDr Jekyll? What do you mean?' demanded Mr

Utterson.

'I want you to cometo thehouse, sir,' Poole said. 'Then you can seefor

yourself, sir.'

Mr Utterson walked to Dr Jekyll's housewiththeservant. It was acold,

March night. Thewindwas strong. Thestreets wereempty, and Mr Utterson

was nervous. He was suresomething bad had happened. Thetwo men

reached thehouse. Poole knocked onthedoor.

Another servant opened thedoor, and Mr Uttersonentered thehouse. AllDr Jekyll'sservants werestanding in thehall they looked frightened. One

of theservant girls began tocry.

'Bequiet!' Poole told her angrily. Then heturned to Mr Utterson. 'I'msorry,

sir, they'reall afraid,' heexplained.

'Will youcomewithme, sir? I want you tohear something. Pleasebevery

quiet.'

Theservant led Mr Uttersonthrough thehouse, tothelaboratory. Then

hespokeagain.

'If Dr Jekyll asksyou to comeinto thelaboratory, you must not go.'

Pooleknocked onthedoor of thelaboratory, and called out, 'Mr Utterson

is here, Dr Jekyllhewants to seeyou, sir.'

A voiceanswered frominsidethelaboratory, 'Tell him I cannotsee

anyone.'

'Thank you, sir,' replied Poole. Hethen took Mr Utterson back into the

main part of thehouse. When they arrived heasked thelawyer, 'Now Mr

Utterson, tell me. Did that voicesound likeDr Jekyll?'

'His voiceis different, certainly,' Mr Uttersonadmitted.

'Different!' repeated Poole. 'I haveknown Dr Jekyll for twenty years, and I

tell you, sir, that was not his voice. Dr Jekyll was murdered eight daysago. I

heardhim cry out eight daysagobut who is in that room, and why hestays

'This has no sense, Poole,' Mr Utterson said. 'Why should anyonekill Dr

'Thereis more, sir,' said theservant. 'Every day for aweek theperson in

'Show meoneof thesenotes,' Mr Uttersonordered.

Poole took aletter out of his pocket, and gaveit to Mr Utterson. Thenote

said:

'At thebottomof thenotewas written 'I'm desperatesend mesomeofthegoodstuff! '

'I don't know, sir,' Poole said. 'Writingisn't important I'veseen him! I've

That man was not Dr Jekyll, I'msureof it! It wasn't thedoctor!'

'Youcannot besure, Poole,' thelawyer told him. 'Perhaps thedoctor's

illness has changed his face. Perhaps that'swhy heneeds themedicine.'

'No, sir,' said Poole firmly. 'Dr Jekyll is atall manand theman I saw

'Very well,' Mr Utterson said. 'Wewill go to thelaboratory.

Pooleand thelawyer picked up an axe andametal bar. They walked

towards thelaboratory. Mr Uttersonstopped for amoment.

'Poole,' hesaid, 'wemust behonest witheachother. Y ouhavenot told me

everything. Theman you saw outsidethelaboratory who was it?'

'I think it was Mr Hyde, sir,' replied theservant. 'I did not seehimwell.

But I think it was him.'

'I believeyou,' Mr Utterson said. 'I think it was Mr Hyde. I fear that Dr

Jekyll is dead. But I don't understand why Hydeis staying in thelaboratory.

I don't understand that at all.'

When thetwomen reached thelaboratory door, they stopped again. Then

Mr Utterson called out totheperson behind thedoor.

'Jekyll! This is Utterson. Open thedoor. I must seeyou.'

A voicefrombehindthedoor answered thelawyer's command.

'No, Utterson, no!'

'That'snot thevoiceof Henry Jekyll,' thelawyer said to Poole. 'Let'sbreak

down thedoor!'

Poole hit thedoor of thelaboratory withtheaxe. They heardafrightened

cry fromtheother side. Thedoor was strong, and Poole hit it fivetimes

beforeit opened.

Mr Utterson looked into theroom. A man'sbody lay on thefloor. It was

Edward Hyde. He was dressed in thedoctor'sclothes.

'Hydeis dead,' Mr Utterson said to Poole. 'Wewill now look for thebody

of Dr Jekyll.'

Thetwo men looked everywherein thelaboratory for thedoctor, but they

'Perhaps heran away,' Mr Utterson said at last. Hewent to thedoor that

opened onto thestreet. Thedoor was locked, and thekey was on thefloor. It

was impossiblefor someonetohaveleft thelaboratory.

They returned to thelaboratory, and searched carefully. 'This is the

medicinewhichDr J ekyll ordered fromthechemist,' said Poole, 'and here

arethedoctor's papers.'

Mr Uttersontook his friend's papers, and began toread them.

Oneof themwas anew will. Thenew will gaveall thedoctor's money to

Mr Utterson.

'I don't understand it!' Mr Utterson said to Poole. 'Hydehas been herein

thelaboratory for aweek. Why didn't hedestroy this new will?'

Then thelawyer picked up another paper.

'This is aletter fromDr Jekyll!' heshouted to Poole. 'And look at thedate

on ithewroteit today! Hemust still bealive, Poole.'

Thelawyer read theletter quickly. It said:

Part Six: Dr L anyon's Narrative

When Mr Utterson arrived home, hewent to his safe. Hetook out Dr

Lanyon'sletter. He looked at theenvelope:'Open after thedeath or disappearanceof Dr HenryJ ekyll.'

'I don'tthink Henry Jekyll is dead,' thought Mr Utterson. 'But hehas

certainly disappeared. Now is thetimeto read this letter!'

Mr Uttersonopened theletter, and began toread. This is what theletter

said:

Four days ago, on theninth of J anuary, I received a strangeletter from

Dr J ekyll. You must read this letter if you want to understandwhat

happenedafterwards.

Dr Jekyll'sletter to Dr Lanyon was alsoin theenvelope, and thelawyer

read it. It said:

Dear Lanyon,

You areoneof my oldest friends. Wehavequarreled, but I still seeyouas a friend. I amwritingnowto ask you to do somethingfor me. It is very

important.

I wantyou to go to myhousetonight. MyservantPoole will bethere. He

At midnight a man will cometo your house. Pleasegivehimthethings

theman will giveyou one.

Pleasedo what I ask, Lanyon. I t will saveyour old friend,

Dr Lanyon's letter continued:

I thought Dr J ekyll was mad but I decided that I should do what he

asked, all thesame.

I went to thedoctor's housethat nightandPoole andI went to the

laboratory. Webrokedown thedoor andI entered. I foundthecabinet and

took outthedrawer with thepowders andtheboot andI took it homewith

me. While I waited for theman to comeat midnight, I looked at thebook:

It seemed to bea record of thedoctor's experiments. I did not understandwhat thedoctor's experimentsmeant.

At midnighttherewas a knock at thedoor of my house. I wentto the

door andopened it. There was a small man standing outside.

'Areyou Dr J ekyll's friend?' I asked him. Hemoved his head. I asked

himinto thehouse. He was an ugly littleman and I did not likehim. I

remember that his clothes were too big for him. The man was very

impatient.

'Where are thepowders? 'Heasked me. 'Haveyou got them?'

Part Seven: Henry J ekyll's Statement

Mr Utterson put downDr Lanyon'sletter. Hepicked up thepaper fromDr

Jekyll's laboratory, and began to read. This is what heread:

I , HenryJ ekyll, was born in 18 -. I had money, I was intelligent, and I

liked to work. My futureseemed happy andrich.

When I wasyoung I wanted toberespected bymy friends. I pretendedto bea very seriousman. I was not likeother young men, who drink

together andenjoythemselves. I enjoyed myself, but I kept my pleasures

a secret fromothers. In public I was a good manprivately, I was a bad

one.

I studied science, andI becamecertain that all human beings are like

me. Everyonehas two partsa good part, andan evil part. No onecan be

happybecausethesetwo partsof naturefight against each other. In my

studies I tried toseparatethesetwo parts. I wanted tocreatetwo identities.

Oneidentitywould befor thegood part of myself. Theother identitywould

befor theevil part. I thought each identitywould behappy: thegood part

would becompletely good, and theevil part would becompletelyevil.

I worked for manyyears to findout howto createthesenew identities.I bought somespecial powders froma chemistin thecity. Then, onenight

I mixed thepowders together. I drank themixture, and immediatelyI felt

ill. SuddenlyI was a differentman. I looked at myself in themirror. I wasyounger and smaller, and I wascompletely wicked. Nothing was important

statement respected pleasures identities


31/42

to me, except pleasure. I had becomeEdward Hyde! I drank another glass

of themixture, and Edward HydedisappearedinstantlyI becameDr

J ekyll again!

I could nowchangewhenever I wanted. Thewell-known andrespected

Dr J ekyll could becomeEdward Hyde. Edward Hydecould do things that

thegood doctor was not allowed to do. I began to likethenewidentityI

hadcreated for myself.

At first Edward Hydewas happyjust to enjoyhimself, butsoon hebegan

to do terrible things. Dr J ekyll was often terrified bythethings that Hydedid. The doctor could do nothing.

J ekyll and Hydeweredifferent people.

Soon I realised that Edward Hydewas dangerous. Hemight do

something that would damagethedoctor's reputation. I remember thenightwhen Hydewalked over thebody of thelittle girl. When hehad to

findmoneyto paythegirl's family, hecameto thedoctor's house. I

decided to giveHydea separatebank account, andto givehimhis own

house. I prepared thewill which you disliked so much, Utterson. I thought

I wassafe.

About two monthsbeforethemurder of Sir Danvers Carew, a strange

thing happened. I took thepowders asusual, and becameEdward Hyde. I

went out into thecity, andreturned hometo sleep. When I wokeup, I

knewsomething waswrong.

Then I looked at my hands. Dr J ekyll's hands arelarge, but thehands I

saw were small. Then I understood: theywere Edward Hyde's hands! I

had goneto bed as HenryJ ekyll and had woken up as Hyde! I ran to the

terrified reputation

laboratory, andtook somemore of themixture. In a fewminutes I was Dr

J ekyll again. Soon I understood that Hydewas stronger than Dr J ekyll. It

becamedifficult to changeback fromHydeto Dr J ekyll.

Sometimes thepowders did notwork. I knew that I must choosebetween

thetwo identities. I decided to beDr J ekyll. For two monthsI followed my

choice. I worked, I sawmy friends, andI began to behappy again. But

every dayI thought about Hyde. I missed his life of pleasuresI missed

theexcitement of being Hyde.

OnedayI drank thepowders again. This time, when Hydecame, hewas

angry. That was thenight that hemurdered Sir Danvers Carew. Hyde

enjoyed theviolenceof themurder, buthewas afraid of thepolice. He

cameback tothelaboratory, and drank thepowders.

I, HenryJ ekyll, remembered what Hydehad done. I was terrified. I

swore thatI would never takethepowders again.Edward Hydewasfinished forever!

For a while I lived as Dr J ekyll. I worked, I saw myfriends, I thought I

was safefromHyde. Oneday I went to thepark. I sat there, thinking about

my life.

'I ama good man,' I told myself. I looked at thepeople aroundme. 'I am

a better man than most of them,' I thought.

At that instant, I suddenly felt ill: then I felt a changein myself. Ilooked down - I had becomeHydeoncemore!

Part Eight: TheSad Conclusion

Mr Jekyll's letter continued:

I was Edward Hyde, andthepolicein London were looking everywhere

for me! London was dangerous for Edward Hydethemurderer. I needed

thepowders fromthelaboratory. But how to get them? I did not trust the

servants.

Then I had an idea. I remembered Dr Lanyon. He could go to the

laboratory for me! I wentto a hotel, andI wrotea letter to Dr Lanyon. I

asked himto go to thelaboratory, andto bringthepowders to his house.

Thedoctor did what I asked.

As soon as I took thepowders in thedoctor's house, I was Dr J ekyll once

more. When Dr Lanyon saw what happened when I took thepowders, he

was shocked. Myold friendwas frightened of me.

I went back to thelaboratory. Now a terrible timebegan for me. Hyde

was strong now, andheoften cameback. If I slept, I wokeupto discover

that I was Hyde. At thesametimeDr J ekyll becameill andweak.

Sometimes thepowders did notwork.

HydeandI lived together in thelaboratory. Wehated each other, andwe

feared each other. I feared himbecausehewas evil. Hefeared mebecauseI wanted to begood. Hydewanted to live, andhewas afraid of the

police. I wanted to die, andHydewas afraid that I would kill myself. Heneeded mybody tolive.

Then I used thelast of thepowders. I sent Pooleto thechemist to buy

more. The new powders did not work. I sent himto another chemist, but

theystill did not work. Again and again I sentPoole to look for the

powders, but theresult was always thesame. Perhaps theoriginal

powders contained an impurityandit was theimpuritythat madethemwork.

I know theendis close. I will soon becomeEdward Hydeagain.

Withoutthepowders, I will beEdward Hydeforever. Hewill sit herein

my laboratory, andhewill beafraid of thepolice. He, too, knows that the

end is close. If thepolicefind him, hewill diein prison. Or will hefind the

courageto kill himself? I, HenryJ ekyll, do not know. It is not importantto

me. Thesearethelast moments of thelifeof your old friend.

Now I will put down my pen andput an endto theunhappy life of Henry

J ekyll.
