Dr Jekyll Hyde Looking and for MrMr Hyde 4 Chapter 2 When Mr Utterson came home in the evening, he felt very sad. He ate his dinner without feeling hungry. He usually read until twelve, but that night he took up a candle and went into his office: he opened his safe1 and took out a large envelope2. It was Dr Jekyll s will3. He sat down and started reading it. The paper was entirely handwritten4 by Dr Jekyll himself and said that, in case of the death of Henry Jekyll, everything had to pass into the hands of his friend and helper Mr Edward Hyde. Mr Utterson did not like the doctor s will when he first saw it. Now that he knew what a terrible man Mr Hyde was, he felt extremely worried5: he feared there was something worse. Mr Utterson put on his coat and went to Cavendish Square to visit his dear friend Dr Lanyon: He may know something , he thought. Dr Lanyon was sitting in his dining room and when he saw Mr Utterson, he was very happy. After chatting6 for a short while7, the lawyer said: You and I are the two oldest friends that Henry Jekyll has, isn t that true? I suppose we are, said Lanyon. But I don t often see Jekyll these days. I m surprised! I thought you had a lot of interests in common. We had them in the past but in the last ten years Henry has begun to act very strangely. I don t like his ideas about science and I think there s something wrong in his mind, said Dr Lanyon. 1. safe: strong metal box with locks where you keep money, jewellery and other valuable things. 2. envelope: a flat paper container for a letter. 3. will: a legal document that gives instructions about your money and possessions after you die. 4. handwritten: written with a pen or pencil. 5. worried: anxious. 6. chatting: talking in a friendly and informal way. 7. a short while: a few minutes. 16
