Is
this
Mr.
Hyde
a
person
of
small
stature
?
"
he
inquired
.
"
Particularly
small
and
particularly
wicked-looking
,
is
what
the
maid
calls
him
,
"
said
the
officer
.
Mr.
Utterson
reflected
;
and
then
,
raising
his
head
,
"
If
you
will
come
with
me
in
my
cab
,
"
he
said
,
"
I
think
I
can
take
you
to
his
house
.
"
It
was
by
this
time
about
nine
in
the
morning
,
and
the
first
fog
of
the
season
.
A
great
chocolate-coloured
pall
lowered
over
heaven
,
but
the
wind
was
continually
charging
and
routing
these
embattled
vapours
;
so
that
as
the
cab
crawled
from
street
to
street
,
Mr.
Utterson
beheld
a
marvellous
number
of
degrees
and
hues
of
twilight
;
for
here
it
would
be
dark
like
the
back-end
of
evening
;
and
there
would
be
a
glow
of
a
rich
,
lurid
brown
,
like
the
light
of
some
strange
conflagration
;
and
here
,
for
a
moment
,
the
fog
would
be
quite
broken
up
,
and
a
haggard
shaft
of
daylight
would
glance
in
between
the
swirling
wreaths
.
The
dismal
quarter
of
Soho
seen
under
these
changing
glimpses
,
with
its
muddy
ways
,
and
slatternly
passengers
,
and
its
lamps
,
which
had
never
been
extinguished
or
had
been
kindled
afresh
to
combat
this
mournful
re-invasion
of
darkness
,
seemed
,
in
the
lawyer
's
eyes
,
like
a
district
of
some
city
in
a
nightmare
.
The
thoughts
of
his
mind
,
besides
,
were
of
the
gloomiest
dye
;
and
when
he
glanced
at
the
companion
of
his
drive
,
he
was
conscious
of
some
touch
of
that
terror
of
the
law
and
the
law
's
officers
,
which
may
at
times
assail
the
most
honest
.
As
the
cab
drew
up
before
the
address
indicated
,
the
fog
lifted
a
little
and
showed
him
a
dingy
street
,
a
gin
palace
,
a
low
French
eating-house
,
a
shop
for
the
retail
of
penny
numbers
and
twopenny
salads
,
many
ragged
children
huddled
in
the
doorways
,
and
many
women
of
different
nationalities
passing
out
,
key
in
hand
,
to
have
a
morning
glass
;
and
the
next
moment
the
fog
settled
down
again
upon
that
part
,
as
brown
as
umber
,
and
cut
him
off
from
his
blackguardly
surroundings
.
This
was
the
home
of
Henry
Jekyll
's
favourite
;
of
a
man
who
was
heir
to
a
quarter
of
a
million
sterling
.
An
ivory-faced
and
silvery-haired
old
woman
opened
the
door
.
She
had
an
evil
face
,
smoothed
by
hypocrisy
;
but
her
manners
were
excellent
.
Yes
,
she
said
,
this
was
Mr.
Hyde
's
,
but
he
was
not
at
home
;
he
had
been
in
that
night
very
late
,
but
had
gone
away
again
in
less
than
an
hour
;
there
was
nothing
strange
in
that
;
his
habits
were
very
irregular
,
and
he
was
often
absent
;
for
instance
,
it
was
nearly
two
months
since
she
had
seen
him
till
yesterday
.
"
Very
well
,
then
,
we
wish
to
see
his
rooms
,
"
said
the
lawyer
;
and
when
the
woman
began
to
declare
it
was
impossible
,
"
I
had
better
tell
you
who
this
person
is
,
"
he
added
.
"
This
is
Inspector
Newcomen
of
Scotland
Yard
.
"
A
flash
of
odious
joy
appeared
upon
the
woman
's
face
.
"
Ah
!
"
said
she
,
"
he
is
in
trouble
!
What
has
he
done
?
"
Mr.
Utterson
and
the
inspector
exchanged
glances
.
"
He
do
n't
seem
a
very
popular
character
,
"
observed
the
latter
.
"
And
now
,
my
good
woman
,
just
let
me
and
this
gentleman
have
a
look
about
us
.
"
In
the
whole
extent
of
the
house
,
which
but
for
the
old
woman
remained
otherwise
empty
,
Mr.
Hyde
had
only
used
a
couple
of
rooms
;
but
these
were
furnished
with
luxury
and
good
taste
.
A
closet
was
filled
with
wine
;
the
plate
was
of
silver
,
the
napery
elegant
;
a
good
picture
hung
upon
the
walls
,
a
gift
(
as
Utterson
supposed
)
from
Henry
Jekyll
,
who
was
much
of
a
connoisseur
;
and
the
carpets
were
of
many
plies
and
agreeable
in
colour
.
At
this
moment
,
however
,
the
rooms
bore
every
mark
of
having
been
recently
and
hurriedly
ransacked
;
clothes
lay
about
the
floor
,
with
their
pockets
inside
out
;
lock-fast
drawers
stood
open
;
and
on
the
hearth
there
lay
a
pile
of
grey
ashes
,
as
though
many
papers
had
been
burned
.
From
these
embers
the
inspector
disinterred
the
butt-end
of
a
green
cheque-book
,
which
had
resisted
the
action
of
the
fire
;
the
other
half
of
the
stick
was
found
behind
the
door
;
and
as
this
clinched
his
suspicions
,
the
officer
declared
himself
delighted
.
A
visit
to
the
bank
,
where
several
thousand
pounds
were
found
to
be
lying
to
the
murderer
's
credit
,
completed
his
gratification
.
