from THE STRANGE CASE OF DR IEKYLL AND MR HYDE

He put the glass to his lips and drank at one gulp, A cry_

followed; he ieeled, staggered, clutched at the table and held on,

staring with injected eyes, gasping with open mouth; and as_I

lookeá there came, I tirought, a change - he seemed to swell-s his face became suddenly black and the features seemed to melt

and alter - and the next moment, I had sprung to my feet and

leaped back against the wall. my arm raised to shield me from

that prodigy, my mind submerged in terror,"O Godl" I screamed, and "O God!" again and again;for there

r0 before my eyes - pale and shaken, and half fainting, and groping

before him with his hands,like a man restored from death -there stood Henry Jekyll!What he told mó in the next hour, 1 cannot bring my mind to set

on paper. i saw what I saw, I heard what I heard, and my soul

rs sicřened at i| and yet now when that sight has faded from my

eyes, I ask myseif if 1 believe it, and I cannot answer, My life is

siraken to its roots; sieep has left me; the deadliest terror sits by

me at all hours of the day and night: l feel that my days are

numbered, and that I must die; and yet I shall die incredulous, As

for the moral turpitude that man unveiled to me, even with tears

of penitence, I cannot, even in memory, dwell on it without a start

of horror. i will say but one thing, Utterson, and that (if you can

bring your mind to credit it) wi1l be more than enough. The

..""Ú" who crept into my house that night was, on Jekyll's own

coníession, known by the name of Hyde and hunted for in every

corner of the tand as the murderer of carew.Robert Louis Steuenson
