JEKYLL'S DOOR, WHERE HE WAS AT ONCE ADMTED BY POOLE, AND RRIED DOWN BY THE KCHEN OFFIC AND ACROSS A YARD WHICH HAD ONCE BEEN A GARN, TO THE BUILDG WHICH WAS DIFFERENTLY KNOWN AS THE LABORATORY OR THE DISSECTG-ROOMS. THE DOCTOR HAD BOUGHT THE HOE OM THE HEIRS OF A CELEBRATED SURGEON; AND HIS OWN TAST BEG RATHER CHEMIL THAN ANATOMIL, HAD CHANGED THE STATN OF THE BLOCK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GARN. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE LAWYER HAD BEEN RECEIVED THAT PART OF HIS IEND'S QUARTERS; AND HE EYED THE DGY, WDOWLS STCTURE WH CURSY, AND GAZED ROUND WH A DISTASTEFUL SENSE OF STRANGENS AS HE CROSSED THE THEATRE, ONCE CROWD WH EAGER STUNTS AND NOW LYG GNT AND SILENT, THE TABL LAN WH CHEMIL APPARAT, THE FLOOR STREWN WH CRAT AND LTERED WH PACKG STRAW, AND THE LIGHT FALLG DIMLY THROUGH THE FOGGY CUPOLA. AT THE FURTHER END, A FLIGHT OF STAIRS MOUNTED TO A DOOR VERED WH RED BAIZE; AND THROUGH THIS, MR. UTTERSON WAS AT LAST RECEIVED TO THE DOCTOR'S BET. IT WAS A LARGE ROOM, FTED ROUND WH GLASS PRS, FURNISHED, AMONG OTHER THGS, WH A CHEVAL-GLASS AND A BS TABLE, AND LOOKG OUT UPON THE URT BY THREE DTY WDOWS BARRED WH IRON. A FIRE BURNED THE GRATE; A LAMP WAS SET LIGHTED ON THE CHIMNEY SHELF, FOR EVEN THE HO THE FOG BEGAN TO LIE THICKLY; AND THERE, CLOSE UP TO THE WARMTH, SAT DR. JEKYLL, LOOKG ADLY SICK. HE DID NOT RISE TO MEET HIS VISOR, BUT HELD OUT A LD HAND AND BA HIM WELE A CHANGED VOICE."AND NOW," SAID MR. UTTERSON, AS SOON AS POOLE HAD LEFT THEM, "YOU HAVE HEARD THE NEWS?"THE DOCTOR SHUDRED. "THEY WERE CRYG THE SQUARE," HE SAID."I HEARD THEM MY DG-ROOM.""ONE WORD," SAID THE LAWYER. "CAREW WAS MY CLIENT, BUT SO ARE YOU, AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT I AM DOG. YOU HAVE NOT BEEN MAD ENOUGH TO HI THIS FELLOW?""UTTERSON, I SWEAR TO GOD," CRIED THE DOCTOR, "I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL NEVER SET EY ON HIM AGA. I BD MY HONOUR TO YOU THAT I AM DONE WH HIM THIS WORLD. IT IS ALL AT AN END. AND ED HE DO NOT WANT MY HELP; YOU DO NOT KNOW HIM AS I DO; HE IS SAFE, HE IS QUE SAFE; MARK MY WORDS, HE WILL NEVER MORE BE HEARD OF."THE LAWYER LISTENED GLOOY; HE DID NOT LIKE HIS IEND'S FEVERISH MANNER. "YOU SEEM PRETTY SURE OF HIM," SAID HE; "AND FOR YOUR SAKE, I HOPE YOU MAY BE RIGHT. IF ME TO A TRIAL, YOUR NAME MIGHT APPEAR.""I AM QUE SURE OF HIM," REPLIED JEKYLL; "I HAVE GROUNDS FOR CERTATY THAT I NNOT SHARE WH ANY ONE. BUT THERE IS ONE THG ON WHICH YOU MAY ADVISE ME. I HAVE—I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER; AND I AM AT A LOSS WHETHER I SHOULD SHOW TO THE POLICE. I SHOULD LIKE TO LEAVE YOUR HANDS, UTTERSON; YOU WOULD JUDGE WISELY, I AM SURE; I HAVE SO GREAT A TST YOU.""YOU FEAR, I SUPPOSE, THAT MIGHT LEAD TO HIS TECTN?" ASKED THE LAWYER."NO," SAID THE OTHER. "I NNOT SAY THAT I RE WHAT BE OF HY; I AM QUE DONE WH HIM. I WAS THKG OF MY OWN CHARACTER, WHICH THIS HATEFUL BS HAS RATHER EXPOSED."UTTERSON MATED A WHILE; HE WAS SURPRISED AT HIS IEND'S SELFISHNS, AND YET RELIEVED BY . "WELL," SAID HE, AT LAST, "LET ME SEE THE LETTER."THE LETTER WAS WRTEN AN ODD, UPRIGHT HAND AND SIGNED "EDWARD HY": AND SIGNIFIED, BRIEFLY ENOUGH, THAT THE WRER'S BENEFACTOR, DR. JEKYLL, WHOM HE HAD LONG SO UNWORTHILY REPAID FOR A THOAND GENEROSI, NEED LABOUR UNR NO ALARM FOR HIS SAFETY, AS HE HAD MEANS OF PE ON WHICH HE PLACED A SURE PENNCE. THE LAWYER LIKED THIS LETTER WELL ENOUGH; PUT A BETTER LOUR ON THE TIMACY THAN HE HAD LOOKED FOR; AND HE BLAMED HIMSELF FOR SOME OF HIS PAST SPICNS."HAVE YOU THE ENVELOPE?" HE ASKED."I BURNED ," REPLIED JEKYLL, "BEFORE I THOUGHT WHAT I WAS ABOUT.BUT BORE NO POSTMARK. THE NOTE WAS HAND .""SHALL I KEEP THIS AND SLEEP UPON ?" ASKED UTTERSON."I WISH YOU TO JUDGE FOR ME ENTIRELY," WAS THE REPLY. "I HAVE LOST NFINCE MYSELF.""WELL, I SHALL NSIR," RETURNED THE LAWYER. "AND NOW ONE WORD MORE: WAS HY WHO DICTATED THE TERMS YOUR WILL ABOUT THAT DISAPPEARANCE?"THE DOCTOR SEEMED SEIZED WH A QUALM OF FATNS: HE SHUT HIS MOUTH TIGHT AND NODD."I KNEW ," SAID UTTERSON. "HE MEANT TO MURR YOU. YOU HAVE HAD A FE PE.""I HAVE HAD WHAT IS FAR MORE TO THE PURPOSE," RETURNED THE DOCTOR SOLEMNLY: "I HAVE HAD A LSON—O GOD, UTTERSON, WHAT A LSON I HAVE HAD!" AND HE VERED HIS FACE FOR A MOMENT WH HIS HANDS.ON HIS WAY OUT, THE LAWYER STOPPED AND HAD A WORD OR TWO WH POOLE. "BY THE BY," SAID HE, "THERE WAS A LETTER HAND TO-DAY: WHAT WAS THE MSENGER LIKE?" BUT POOLE WAS POSIVE NOTHG HAD E EXCEPT BY POST; "AND ONLY CIRCULARS BY THAT," HE ADD.THIS NEWS SENT OFF THE VISOR WH HIS FEARS RENEWED. PLALY THE LETTER HAD E BY THE LABORATORY DOOR; POSSIBLY, ED, HAD BEEN WRTEN THE BET; AND IF THAT WERE SO, MT BE DIFFERENTLY JUDGED, AND HANDLED WH THE MORE UTN. THE NEWSBOYS, AS HE WENT, WERE CRYG THEMSELV HOARSE ALONG THE FOOTWAYS: "SPECIAL EDN. SHOCKG MURR OF AN M. P." THAT WAS THE FUNERAL ORATN OF ONE IEND AND CLIENT; AND HE ULD NOT HELP A CERTA APPREHENSN LT THE GOOD NAME OF ANOTHER SHOULD BE SUCKED DOWN THE EDDY OF THE SNDAL. IT WAS, AT LEAST, A TICKLISH CISN THAT HE HAD TO MAKE; AND SELF-RELIANT AS HE WAS BY HAB, HE BEGAN TO CHERISH A LONGG FOR ADVICE. IT WAS NOT TO BE HAD DIRECTLY; BUT PERHAPS, HE THOUGHT, MIGHT BE FISHED FOR.PRENTLY AFTER, HE SAT ON ONE SI OF HIS OWN HEARTH, WH MR. GUT, HIS HEAD CLERK, UPON THE OTHER, AND MIDWAY BETWEEN, AT A NICELY LCULATED DISTANCE OM THE FIRE, A BOTTLE OF A PARTICULAR OLD WE THAT HAD LONG DWELT UNSUNNED THE FOUNDATNS OF HIS HOE. THE FOG STILL SLEPT ON THE WG ABOVE THE DROWNED CY, WHERE THE LAMPS GLIMMERED LIKE RBUNCL; AND THROUGH THE MUFFLE AND SMOTHER OF THE FALLEN CLOUDS, THE PROCSN OF THE TOWN'S LIFE WAS STILL ROLLG THROUGH THE GREAT ARTERI WH A SOUND AS OF A MIGHTY WD. BUT THE ROOM WAS GAY WH FIRELIGHT. IN THE BOTTLE THE ACIDS WERE LONG AGO ROLVED; THE IMPERIAL DYE HAD SOFTENED WH TIME, AS THE LOUR GROWS RICHER STAED WDOWS; AND THE GLOW OF HOT TUMN AFTERNOONS ON HILLSI VEYARDS WAS READY TO BE SET EE AND TO DISPERSE THE FOGS OF LONDON. INSENSIBLY THE LAWYER MELTED. THERE WAS NO MAN OM WHOM HE KEPT FEWER SECRETS THAN MR. GUT; AND HE WAS NOT ALWAYS SURE THAT HE KEPT AS MANY AS HE MEANT. GUT HAD OFTEN BEEN ON BS TO THE DOCTOR'S; HE KNEW POOLE; HE ULD SRCE HAVE FAILED TO HEAR OF MR. HY'S FAIARY ABOUT THE HOE; HE MIGHT DRAW NCLNS: WAS NOT AS WELL, THEN, THAT HE SHOULD SEE A LETTER WHICH PUT THAT MYSTERY TO RIGHTS? AND ABOVE ALL SCE GUT, BEG A GREAT STUNT AND CRIC OF HANDWRG, WOULD NSIR THE STEP NATURAL AND OBLIGG? THE CLERK, BIS, WAS A MAN OF UNSEL; HE WOULD SRCE READ SO STRANGE A DOCUMENT WHOUT DROPPG A REMARK; AND BY THAT REMARK MR. UTTERSON MIGHT SHAPE HIS FUTURE URSE."THIS IS A SAD BS ABOUT SIR DANVERS," HE SAID."Y, SIR, ED. IT HAS ELICED A GREAT AL OF PUBLIC FEELG," RETURNED GUT. "THE MAN, OF URSE, WAS MAD.""I SHOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOUR VIEWS ON THAT," REPLIED UTTERSON. "I HAVE A DOCUMENT HERE HIS HANDWRG; IS BETWEEN OURSELV, FOR I SRCE KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT ; IS AN UGLY BS AT THE BT. BUT THERE IS; QUE YOUR WAY A MURRER'S TOGRAPH."GUT'S EY BRIGHTENED, AND HE SAT DOWN AT ONCE AND STUDIED WH PASSN. "NO, SIR," HE SAID: "NOT MAD; BUT IS AN ODD HAND.""AND BY ALL ACUNTS A VERY ODD WRER," ADD THE LAWYER.JT THEN THE SERVANT ENTERED WH A NOTE."IS THAT OM DR. JEKYLL, SIR?" QUIRED THE CLERK. "I THOUGHT I KNEW THE WRG. ANYTHG PRIVATE, MR. UTTERSON?""ONLY AN VATN TO DNER. WHY? DO YOU WANT TO SEE ?""ONE MOMENT. I THANK YOU, SIR"; AND THE CLERK LAID THE TWO SHEETS OF PAPER ALONGSI AND SLOLY PARED THEIR NTENTS. "THANK YOU, SIR," HE SAID AT LAST, RETURNG BOTH; "'S A VERY TERTG TOGRAPH."THERE WAS A PSE, DURG WHICH MR. UTTERSON STGGLED WH HIMSELF. "WHY DID YOU PARE THEM, GUT?" HE QUIRED SUDNLY."WELL, SIR," RETURNED THE CLERK, "THERE'S A RATHER SGULAR REMBLANCE; THE TWO HANDS ARE MANY POTS INTIL: ONLY DIFFERENTLY SLOPED.""RATHER QUAT," SAID UTTERSON."IT IS, AS YOU SAY, RATHER QUAT," RETURNED GUT."I WOULDN'T SPEAK OF THIS NOTE, YOU KNOW," SAID THE MASTER."NO, SIR," SAID THE CLERK. "I UNRSTAND."BUT NO SOONER WAS MR. UTTERSON ALONE THAT NIGHT THAN HE LOCKED THE NOTE TO HIS SAFE, WHERE REPOSED OM THAT TIME FORWARD. "WHAT!" HE THOUGHT. "HENRY JEKYLL FE FOR A MURRER!"
