He
put
the
glass
to
his
lips
and
drank
at
one
gulp
.
A
cry
followed
;
he
reeled
,
staggered
,
clutched
at
the
table
and
held
on
,
staring
with
injected
eyes
,
gasping
with
open
mouth
;
and
as
I
looked
there
came
,
I
thought
,
a
change
--
he
seemed
to
swell
--
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
.
352
"
O
God
!
"
I
screamed
,
and
"
O
God
!
"
again
and
again
;
for
there
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
!
353
What
he
told
me
in
the
next
hour
,
I
can
not
bring
my
mind
to
set
on
paper
.
I
saw
what
I
saw
,
I
heard
what
I
heard
,
and
my
soul
sickened
at
it
;
and
yet
now
when
that
sight
has
faded
from
my
eyes
,
I
ask
myself
if
I
believe
it
,
and
I
can
not
answer
.
My
life
is
shaken
to
its
roots
;
sleep
has
left
me
;
the
deadliest
terror
sits
by
me
at
all
hours
of
the
day
and
night
;
I
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
can
not
,
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
)
will
be
more
than
enough
.
The
creature
who
crept
into
my
house
that
night
was
,
on
Jekyll
's
own
confession
,
known
by
the
name
of
Hyde
and
hunted
for
in
every
corner
of
the
land
as
the
murderer
of
Carew
.

Iwas
born
in
the
year
18
--
--
to
a
large
fortune
,
endowed
besides
with
excellent
parts
,
inclined
by
nature
to
industry
,
fond
of
the
respect
of
the
wise
and
good
among
my
fellow-men
,
and
thus
,
as
might
have
been
supposed
,
with
every
guarantee
of
an
honourable
and
distinguished
future
.
And
indeed
the
worst
of
my
faults
was
a
certain
impatient
gaiety
of
disposition
,
such
as
has
made
the
happiness
of
many
,
but
such
as
I
found
it
hard
to
reconcile
with
my
imperious
desire
to
carry
my
head
high
,
and
wear
a
more
than
commonly
grave
countenance
before
the
public
.
Hence
it
came
about
that
I
concealed
my
pleasures
;
and
that
when
I
reached
years
of
reflection
,
and
began
to
look
round
me
and
take
stock
of
my
progress
and
position
in
the
world
,
I
stood
already
committed
to
a
profound
duplicity
of
life
.
Many
a
man
would
have
even
blazoned
such
irregularities
as
I
was
guilty
of
;
but
from
the
high
views
that
I
had
set
before
me
,
I
regarded
and
hid
them
with
an
almost
morbid
sense
of
shame
.
It
was
thus
rather
the
exacting
nature
of
my
aspirations
than
any
particular
degradation
in
my
faults
,
that
made
me
what
I
was
and
,
with
even
a
deeper
trench
than
in
the
majority
of
men
,
severed
in
me
those
provinces
of
good
and
ill
which
divide
and
compound
man
's
dual
nature
.
In
this
case
,
I
was
driven
to
reflect
deeply
and
inveterately
on
that
hard
law
of
life
,
which
lies
at
the
root
of
religion
and
is
one
of
the
most
plentiful
springs
of
distress
.
356
Though
so
profound
a
double-dealer
,
I
was
in
no
sense
a
hypocrite
;
both
sides
of
me
were
in
dead
earnest
;
I
was
no
more
myself
when
I
laid
aside
restraint
and
plunged
in
shame
,
than
when
I
laboured
,
in
the
eye
of
day
,
at
the
furtherance
of
knowledge
or
the
relief
of
sorrow
and
suffering
.
And
it
chanced
that
the
direction
of
my
scientific
studies
,
which
led
wholly
toward
the
mystic
and
the
transcendental
,
reacted
and
shed
a
strong
light
on
this
consciousness
of
the
perennial
war
among
my
members
.
With
every
day
,
and
from
both
sides
of
my
intelligence
,
the
moral
and
the
intellectual
,
I
thus
drew
steadily
nearer
to
that
truth
,
by
whose
partial
discovery
I
have
been
doomed
to
such
a
dreadful
shipwreck
:
that
man
is
not
truly
one
,
but
truly
two
.
I
say
two
,
because
the
state
of
my
own
knowledge
does
not
pass
beyond
that
point
.
Others
will
follow
,
others
will
outstrip
me
on
the
same
lines
;
and
I
hazard
the
guess
that
man
will
be
ultimately
known
for
a
mere
polity
of
multifarious
,
incongruous
,
and
independent
denizens
.
I
,
for
my
part
,
from
the
nature
of
my
life
,
advanced
infallibly
in
one
direction
and
in
one
direction
only
.
357
It
was
on
the
moral
side
,
and
in
my
own
person
,
that
I
learned
to
recognise
the
thorough
and
primitive
duality
of
man
;
I
saw
that
,
of
the
two
natures
that
contended
in
the
field
of
my
consciousness
,
even
if
I
could
rightly
be
said
to
be
either
,
it
was
only
because
I
was
radically
both
;
and
from
an
early
date
,
even
before
the
course
of
my
scientific
discoveries
had
begun
to
suggest
the
most
naked
possibility
of
such
a
miracle
,
I
had
learned
to
dwell
with
pleasure
,
as
a
beloved
day-dream
,
on
the
thought
of
the
separation
of
these
elements
.
If
each
,
I
told
myself
,
could
but
be
housed
in
separate
identities
,
life
would
be
relieved
of
all
that
was
unbearable
;
the
unjust
delivered
from
the
aspirations
might
go
his
way
,
and
remorse
of
his
more
upright
twin
;
and
the
just
could
walk
steadfastly
and
securely
on
his
upward
path
,
doing
the
good
things
in
which
he
found
his
pleasure
,
and
no
longer
exposed
to
disgrace
and
penitence
by
the
hands
of
this
extraneous
evil
.
It
was
the
curse
of
mankind
that
these
incongruous
fagots
were
thus
bound
together
that
in
the
agonised
womb
of
consciousness
,
these
polar
twins
should
be
continuously
struggling
.
How
,
then
,
were
they
dissociated
?

I
was
so
far
in
my
reflections
when
,
as
I
have
said
,
a
side-light
began
to
shine
upon
the
subject
from
the
laboratory
table
.
I
began
to
perceive
more
deeply
than
it
has
ever
yet
been
stated
,
the
trembling
immateriality
,
the
mist-like
transience
of
this
seemingly
so
solid
body
in
which
we
walk
attired
.
359
Certain
agents
I
found
to
have
the
power
to
shake
and
to
pluck
back
that
fleshly
vestment
,
even
as
a
wind
might
toss
the
curtains
of
a
pavilion
.
For
two
good
reasons
,
I
will
not
enter
deeply
into
this
scientific
branch
of
my
confession
.
First
,
because
I
have
been
made
to
learn
that
the
doom
and
burthen
of
our
life
is
bound
for
ever
on
man
's
shoulders
,
and
when
the
attempt
is
made
to
cast
it
off
,
it
but
returns
upon
us
with
more
unfamiliar
and
more
awful
pressure
.
Second
,
because
,
as
my
narrative
will
make
,
alas
!
too
evident
,
my
discoveries
were
incomplete
.
Enough
,
then
,
that
I
not
only
recognised
my
natural
body
for
the
mere
aura
and
effulgence
of
certain
of
the
powers
that
made
up
my
spirit
,
but
managed
to
compound
a
drug
by
which
these
powers
should
be
dethroned
from
their
supremacy
,
and
a
second
form
and
countenance
substituted
,
none
the
less
natural
to
me
because
they
were
the
expression
,
and
bore
the
stamp
,
of
lower
elements
in
my
soul
.
360
I
hesitated
long
before
I
put
this
theory
to
the
test
of
practice
.
I
knew
well
that
I
risked
death
;
for
any
drug
that
so
potently
controlled
and
shook
the
very
fortress
of
identity
,
might
by
the
least
scruple
of
an
overdose
or
at
the
least
inopportunity
in
the
moment
of
exhibition
,
utterly
blot
out
that
immaterial
tabernacle
which
I
looked
to
it
to
change
.
But
the
temptation
of
a
discovery
so
singular
and
profound
,
at
last
overcame
the
suggestions
of
alarm
.
