These
particulars
struck
me
,
I
confess
,
disagreeably
;
and
as
I
followed
him
into
the
bright
light
of
the
consulting-room
,
I
kept
my
hand
ready
on
my
weapon
.
Here
,
at
last
,
I
had
a
chance
of
clearly
seeing
him
.
I
had
never
set
eyes
on
him
before
,
so
much
was
certain
.
He
was
small
,
as
I
have
said
;
I
was
struck
besides
with
the
shocking
expression
of
his
face
,
with
his
remarkable
combination
of
great
muscular
activity
and
great
apparent
debility
of
constitution
,
and
--
last
but
not
least
--
with
the
odd
,
subjective
disturbance
caused
by
his
neighbourhood
.
This
bore
some
resemblance
to
incipient
rigour
,
and
was
accompanied
by
a
marked
sinking
of
the
pulse
.
At
the
time
,
I
set
it
down
to
some
idiosyncratic
,
personal
distaste
,
and
merely
wondered
at
the
acuteness
of
the
symptoms
;
but
I
have
since
had
reason
to
believe
the
cause
to
lie
much
deeper
in
the
nature
of
man
,
and
to
turn
on
some
nobler
hinge
than
the
principle
of
hatred
.
This
person
(
who
had
thus
,
from
the
first
moment
of
his
entrance
,
struck
in
me
what
I
can
only
describe
as
a
disgustful
curiosity
)
was
dressed
in
a
fashion
that
would
have
made
an
ordinary
person
laughable
;
his
clothes
,
that
is
to
say
,
although
they
were
of
rich
and
sober
fabric
,
were
enormously
too
large
for
him
in
every
measurement
--
the
trousers
hanging
on
his
legs
and
rolled
up
to
keep
them
from
the
ground
,
the
waist
of
the
coat
below
his
haunches
,
and
the
collar
sprawling
wide
upon
his
shoulders
.
Strange
to
relate
,
this
ludicrous
accoutrement
was
far
from
moving
me
to
laughter
.
Rather
,
as
there
was
something
abnormal
and
misbegotten
in
the
very
essence
of
the
creature
that
now
faced
me
--
something
seizing
,
surprising
,
and
revolting
--
this
fresh
disparity
seemed
but
to
fit
in
with
and
to
reinforce
it
;
so
that
to
my
interest
in
the
man
's
nature
and
character
,
there
was
added
a
curiosity
as
to
his
origin
,
his
life
,
his
fortune
and
status
in
the
world
.
These
observations
,
though
they
have
taken
so
great
a
space
to
be
set
down
in
,
were
yet
the
work
of
a
few
seconds
.
My
visitor
was
,
indeed
,
on
fire
with
sombre
excitement
.
"
Have
you
got
it
?
"
he
cried
.
"
Have
you
got
it
?
"
And
so
lively
was
his
impatience
that
he
even
laid
his
hand
upon
my
arm
and
sought
to
shake
me
.
I
put
him
back
,
conscious
at
his
touch
of
a
certain
icy
pang
along
my
blood
.
"
Come
,
sir
,
"
said
I.
"
You
forget
that
I
have
not
yet
the
pleasure
of
your
acquaintance
.
Be
seated
,
if
you
please
.
"
And
I
showed
him
an
example
,
and
sat
down
myself
in
my
customary
seat
and
with
as
fair
an
imitation
of
my
ordinary
manner
to
a
patient
,
as
the
lateness
of
the
hour
,
the
nature
of
my
pre-occupations
,
and
the
horror
I
had
of
my
visitor
,
would
suffer
me
to
muster
.
"
I
beg
your
pardon
,
Dr.
Lanyon
,
"
he
replied
civilly
enough
.
"
What
you
say
is
very
well
founded
;
and
my
impatience
has
shown
its
heels
to
my
politeness
.
I
come
here
at
the
instance
of
your
colleague
,
Dr.
Henry
Jekyll
,
on
a
piece
of
business
of
some
moment
;
and
I
understood
...
"
He
paused
and
put
his
hand
to
his
throat
,
and
I
could
see
,
in
spite
of
his
collected
manner
,
that
he
was
wrestling
against
the
approaches
of
the
hysteria
--
"
I
understood
,
a
drawer
...
"
But
here
I
took
pity
on
my
visitor
's
suspense
,
and
some
perhaps
on
my
own
growing
curiosity
.
"
There
it
is
,
sir
,
"
said
I
,
pointing
to
the
drawer
,
where
it
lay
on
the
floor
behind
a
table
and
still
covered
with
the
sheet
.
He
sprang
to
it
,
and
then
paused
,
and
laid
his
hand
upon
his
heart
:
I
could
hear
his
teeth
grate
with
the
convulsive
action
of
his
jaws
;
and
his
face
was
so
ghastly
to
see
that
I
grew
alarmed
both
for
his
life
and
reason
.
