In search of Mr Hyde2 In search of Mr Hyde2 During the next few weeks Mr Utterson spent many hoursin the narrow street where Enfield had seen Hyde Hydraulic Hose．He waitedpatiently near the mysterious door， hoping for a sight of MrHyde—and one dry， clear winter night he was successful．The street was empty and silent and small sounds carried along way．The lawyer heard footsteps． He stepped back intothe shadows and waited．A short figure turned the corner andwalked towards the mysterious door． Although Mr Uttersoncould not see his face， he felt a strong， almost violent， dislikefor the stranger．

Mr Utterson stepped forward and touched him on the shoulder．‘Mr Hyde？’

‘Yes，that's my name，’said the stranger coolly．‘ What doyou want？’

‘I see that you're going in．I'm an old friend of DoctorJekyll's．My name is Utterson．You must have heard myname—may I come in with you？’

‘Doctor Jekyll is not at home，’replied #x Mr Hyde．‘How didyou know me？’he added sharply．

‘First let me see your face，’replied the lawyer．

Mr Hyde hesitated for a moment， then he stood under thestreet light and the lawyer saw his face Hydraulic Hose．‘Thank you，’ saidMr Utterson．‘Now I shall know you again． It may beuseful．’

‘Yes，’said Mr Hyde，‘it may indeed be useful．Here，too，is my address．You may need it one day．’He gave the lawyerhis address，which was in a poor part of London．

‘Good God！’thought the lawyer，‘does Hyde know aboutJekyll's will？Is that what he's thinking of？’But he saidnothing．

‘And now，’said Mr Hyde，‘How did you know me？’

‘You were described to me．’

‘Who did that？’

‘I know people who know you．’

‘Who？’ asked Mr Hyde sharply．

‘Doctor Jekyll，for example,Ray Ban，’said the lawyer．

‘He never told you！’cried Mr Hyde in sudden anger．‘Don't lie to me！’And before the lawyer could answer， heturned the key in the lock and disappeared into the house．

Mr Utterson stared at the closed door．‘Why do I dislikehim so much？’he said to himself．‘Enfield was right—thereis something evil about the man．Poor Henry Jekyll，I'm worried about you． Your new friend will mean trouble for you．’

Round the corner from the narrow street there was a squareof handsome old houses．One of these was Doctor．Jekyll's house，and Mr Utterson knocked at the front door． The servant answered and told him that Doctor Jekyll was not athome．

‘I saw Mr Hyde go in by the laboratory door #x in the street atthe back of the house， said the lawyer．

‘That's right，Mr Utterson，’replied the servant． ‘MrHyde has his own key， and comes and goes when he likes Hydraulic Hose． Wehave orders from Doctor Jekyll to obey him．’ 相关的主题文章：
