The
solemn
butler
knew
and
welcomed
him
;
he
was
subjected
to
no
stage
of
delay
,
but
ushered
direct
from
the
door
to
the
dining-room
where
Dr.
Lanyon
sat
alone
over
his
wine
.
This
was
a
hearty
,
healthy
,
dapper
,
red-faced
gentleman
,
with
a
shock
of
hair
prematurely
white
,
and
a
boisterous
and
decided
manner
.
At
sight
of
Mr.
Utterson
,
he
sprang
up
from
his
chair
and
welcomed
him
with
both
hands
.
The
geniality
,
as
was
the
way
of
the
man
,
was
somewhat
theatrical
to
the
eye
;
but
it
reposed
on
genuine
feeling
.
For
these
two
were
old
friends
,
old
mates
both
at
school
and
college
,
both
thorough
respecters
of
themselves
and
of
each
other
,
and
,
what
does
not
always
follow
,
men
who
thoroughly
enjoyed
each
other
's
company
.

After
a
little
rambling
talk
,
the
lawyer
led
up
to
the
subject
which
so
disagreeably
pre-occupied
his
mind
.
43
"
I
suppose
,
Lanyon
,
"
said
he
"
you
and
I
must
be
the
two
oldest
friends
that
Henry
Jekyll
has
?
"

"
I
wish
the
friends
were
younger
,
"
chuckled
Dr.
Lanyon
.
"
But
I
suppose
we
are
.
And
what
of
that
?
I
see
little
of
him
now
.
"
45
"
Indeed
?
"
said
Utterson
.
"
I
thought
you
had
a
bond
of
common
interest
.
"
46
"
We
had
,
"
was
the
reply
.
"
But
it
is
more
than
ten
years
since
Henry
Jekyll
became
too
fanciful
for
me
.
He
began
to
go
wrong
,
wrong
in
mind
;
and
though
of
course
I
continue
to
take
an
interest
in
him
for
old
sake
's
sake
,
as
they
say
,
I
see
and
I
have
seen
devilish
little
of
the
man
.
Such
unscientific
balderdash
,
"
added
the
doctor
,
flushing
suddenly
purple
,
"
would
have
estranged
Damon
and
Pythias
.
"
47
This
little
spirit
of
temper
was
somewhat
of
a
relief
to
Mr.
Utterson
.
"
They
have
only
differed
on
some
point
of
science
,
"
he
thought
;
and
being
a
man
of
no
scientific
passions
(
except
in
the
matter
of
conveyancing
)
,
he
even
added
:
"
It
is
nothing
worse
than
that
!
"
He
gave
his
friend
a
few
seconds
to
recover
his
composure
,
and
then
approached
the
question
he
had
come
to
put
.
"
Did
you
ever
come
across
a
protege
of
his
--
one
Hyde
?
"
he
asked
.

"
Hyde
?
"
repeated
Lanyon
.
"
No
.
Never
heard
of
him
.
Since
my
time
.
"
49
That
was
the
amount
of
information
that
the
lawyer
carried
back
with
him
to
the
great
,
dark
bed
on
which
he
tossed
to
and
fro
,
until
the
small
hours
of
the
morning
began
to
grow
large
.
It
was
a
night
of
little
ease
to
his
toiling
mind
,
toiling
in
mere
darkness
and
besieged
by
questions
.
50
Six
o'clock
struck
on
the
bells
of
the
church
that
was
so
conveniently
near
to
Mr.
Utterson
's
dwelling
,
and
still
he
was
digging
at
the
problem
.
Hitherto
it
had
touched
him
on
the
intellectual
side
alone
;
but
now
his
imagination
also
was
engaged
,
or
rather
enslaved
;
and
as
he
lay
and
tossed
in
the
gross
darkness
of
the
night
and
the
curtained
room
,
Mr.
Enfield
's
tale
went
by
before
his
mind
in
a
scroll
of
lighted
pictures
.
He
would
be
aware
of
the
great
field
of
lamps
of
a
nocturnal
city
;
then
of
the
figure
of
a
man
walking
swiftly
;
then
of
a
child
running
from
the
doctor
's
;
and
then
these
met
,
and
that
human
Juggernaut
trod
the
child
down
and
passed
on
regardless
of
her
screams
.
Or
else
he
would
see
a
room
in
a
rich
house
,
where
his
friend
lay
asleep
,
dreaming
and
smiling
at
his
dreams
;
and
then
the
door
of
that
room
would
be
opened
,
the
curtains
of
the
bed
plucked
apart
,
the
sleeper
recalled
,
and
lo
!
there
would
stand
by
his
side
a
figure
to
whom
power
was
given
,
and
even
at
that
dead
hour
,
he
must
rise
and
do
its
bidding
.
