  3. Robert Louis Stevenson _ The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll

    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.

  4. Robert Louis Stevenson _ The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll

    You start a question, and it's like starting a stone. You sit quietly on the top of a hill; and away the stone goes, starting others; and presently some bland old bird {the last you would have thought of} is knocked on the head in his own back garden and the family have to change their name.

  6. Robert Louis Stevenson _ The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll

Will Hyde die upon the scaffold? or will he find the courage to release himself at the last moment? God knows; I am careless; this is my true hour of death, and what is to follow concerns another than myself. Here, then, as I lay down the pen, and proceed to seal up my confession, I bring the life of that unhappy Henry Jekyll to an end.

  9. Robert Louis Stevenson _ The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll

    The door, indeed, stood open as before; but the windows were still shuttered, the chimneys breathed no stain into the bright air, there sounded abroad none of that low stir {perhaps audible rather to the ear of the spirit than to the ear of the flesh} by which a house announces and betrays its human lodgers.

  12. Robert Louis Stevenson _ The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll
