There
comes
an
end
to
all
things
;
the
most
capacious
measure
is
filled
at
last
;
and
this
brief
condescension
to
evil
finally
destroyed
the
balance
of
my
soul
.
And
yet
I
was
not
alarmed
;
the
fall
seemed
natural
,
like
a
return
to
the
old
days
before
I
had
made
discovery
.
392
It
was
a
fine
,
clear
,
January
day
,
wet
under
foot
where
the
frost
had
melted
,
but
cloudless
overhead
;
and
the
Regent
's
Park
was
full
of
winter
chirrupings
and
sweet
with
spring
odours
.
I
sat
in
the
sun
on
a
bench
;
the
animal
within
me
licking
the
chops
of
memory
;
the
spiritual
side
a
little
,
drowsed
,
promising
subsequent
penitence
,
but
not
yet
moved
to
begin
.
After
all
,
I
reflected
,
I
was
like
my
neighbours
;
and
then
I
smiled
,
comparing
myself
with
other
men
,
comparing
my
active
goodwill
with
the
lazy
cruelty
of
their
neglect
.
And
at
the
very
moment
of
that
vain-glorious
thought
,
a
qualm
came
over
me
,
a
horrid
nausea
and
the
most
deadly
shuddering
.
These
passed
away
,
and
left
me
faint
;
and
then
as
in
its
turn
the
faintness
subsided
,
I
began
to
be
aware
of
a
change
in
the
temper
of
my
thoughts
,
a
greater
boldness
,
a
contempt
of
danger
,
a
solution
of
the
bonds
of
obligation
.
I
looked
down
;
my
clothes
hung
formlessly
on
my
shrunken
limbs
;
the
hand
that
lay
on
my
knee
was
corded
and
hairy
.
I
was
once
more
Edward
Hyde
.
A
moment
before
I
had
been
safe
of
all
men
's
respect
,
wealthy
,
beloved
--
the
cloth
laying
for
me
in
the
dining-room
at
home
;
and
now
I
was
the
common
quarry
of
mankind
,
hunted
,
houseless
,
a
known
murderer
,
thrall
to
the
gallows
.

My
reason
wavered
,
but
it
did
not
fail
me
utterly
.
395
I
have
more
than
once
observed
that
,
in
my
second
character
,
my
faculties
seemed
sharpened
to
a
point
and
my
spirits
more
tensely
elastic
;
thus
it
came
about
that
,
where
Jekyll
perhaps
might
have
succumbed
,
Hyde
rose
to
the
importance
of
the
moment
.
My
drugs
were
in
one
of
the
presses
of
my
cabinet
;
how
was
I
to
reach
them
?
That
was
the
problem
that
(
crushing
my
temples
in
my
hands
)
I
set
myself
to
solve
.
The
laboratory
door
I
had
closed
.
If
I
sought
to
enter
by
the
house
,
my
own
servants
would
consign
me
to
the
gallows
.
I
saw
I
must
employ
another
hand
,
and
thought
of
Lanyon
.
How
was
he
to
be
reached
?
how
persuaded
?
Supposing
that
I
escaped
capture
in
the
streets
,
how
was
I
to
make
my
way
into
his
presence
?
and
how
should
I
,
an
unknown
and
displeasing
visitor
,
prevail
on
the
famous
physician
to
rifle
the
study
of
his
colleague
,
Dr.
Jekyll
?
Then
I
remembered
that
of
my
original
character
,
one
part
remained
to
me
:
I
could
write
my
own
hand
;
and
once
I
had
conceived
that
kindling
spark
,
the
way
that
I
must
follow
became
lighted
up
from
end
to
end
.
396
Thereupon
,
I
arranged
my
clothes
as
best
I
could
,
and
summoning
a
passing
hansom
,
drove
to
an
hotel
in
Portland
Street
,
the
name
of
which
I
chanced
to
remember
.
At
my
appearance
(
which
was
indeed
comical
enough
,
however
tragic
a
fate
these
garments
covered
)
the
driver
could
not
conceal
his
mirth
.
I
gnashed
my
teeth
upon
him
with
a
gust
of
devilish
fury
;
and
the
smile
withered
from
his
face
--
happily
for
him
--
yet
more
happily
for
myself
,
for
in
another
instant
I
had
certainly
dragged
him
from
his
perch
.
397
At
the
inn
,
as
I
entered
,
I
looked
about
me
with
so
black
a
countenance
as
made
the
attendants
tremble
;
not
a
look
did
they
exchange
in
my
presence
;
but
obsequiously
took
my
orders
,
led
me
to
a
private
room
,
and
brought
me
wherewithal
to
write
.
Hyde
in
danger
of
his
life
was
a
creature
new
to
me
;
shaken
with
inordinate
anger
,
strung
to
the
pitch
of
murder
,
lusting
to
inflict
pain
.
Yet
the
creature
was
astute
;
mastered
his
fury
with
a
great
effort
of
the
will
;
composed
his
two
important
letters
,
one
to
Lanyon
and
one
to
Poole
;
and
that
he
might
receive
actual
evidence
of
their
being
posted
,
sent
them
out
with
directions
that
they
should
be
registered
.

Thenceforward
,
he
sat
all
day
over
the
fire
in
the
private
room
,
gnawing
his
nails
;
there
he
dined
,
sitting
alone
with
his
fears
,
the
waiter
visibly
quailing
before
his
eye
;
and
thence
,
when
the
night
was
fully
come
,
he
set
forth
in
the
corner
of
a
closed
cab
,
and
was
driven
to
and
fro
about
the
streets
of
the
city
.
He
,
I
say
--
I
can
not
say
,
I
.
That
child
of
Hell
had
nothing
human
;
nothing
lived
in
him
but
fear
and
hatred
.
And
when
at
last
,
thinking
the
driver
had
begun
to
grow
suspicious
,
he
discharged
the
cab
and
ventured
on
foot
,
attired
in
his
misfitting
clothes
,
an
object
marked
out
for
observation
,
into
the
midst
of
the
nocturnal
passengers
,
these
two
base
passions
raged
within
him
like
a
tempest
.
He
walked
fast
,
hunted
by
his
fears
,
chattering
to
himself
,
skulking
through
the
less-frequented
thoroughfares
,
counting
the
minutes
that
still
divided
him
from
midnight
.
399
Once
a
woman
spoke
to
him
,
offering
,
I
think
,
a
box
of
lights
.
He
smote
her
in
the
face
,
and
she
fled
.
400
When
I
came
to
myself
at
Lanyon
's
,
the
horror
of
my
old
friend
perhaps
affected
me
somewhat
:
I
do
not
know
;
it
was
at
least
but
a
drop
in
the
sea
to
the
abhorrence
with
which
I
looked
back
upon
these
hours
.
A
change
had
come
over
me
.
It
was
no
longer
the
fear
of
the
gallows
,
it
was
the
horror
of
being
Hyde
that
racked
me
.
I
received
Lanyon
's
condemnation
partly
in
a
dream
;
it
was
partly
in
a
dream
that
I
came
home
to
my
own
house
and
got
into
bed
.
I
slept
after
the
prostration
of
the
day
,
with
a
stringent
and
profound
slumber
which
not
even
the
nightmares
that
wrung
me
could
avail
to
break
.
I
awoke
in
the
morning
shaken
,
weakened
,
but
refreshed
.
I
still
hated
and
feared
the
thought
of
the
brute
that
slept
within
me
,
and
I
had
not
of
course
forgotten
the
appalling
dangers
of
the
day
before
;
but
I
was
once
more
at
home
,
in
my
own
house
and
close
to
my
drugs
;
and
gratitude
for
my
escape
shone
so
strong
in
my
soul
that
it
almost
rivalled
the
brightness
of
hope
.
