Mr Utterson stepped out and touched him on the shoulder as he passed. Mr. Hyde, I think Mr Hyde shrank back with a hissing intake of the breath. But his fear was only momentary. And though he did not look the lawyer in the face, he answered coolly Enough. That is my name. What do you want? I see you are going in return. The lawyer. I am an old friend of Dr Jekyll's in Mr Addison of Gone Street. You must have heard of my name on meeting you so conveniently. I thought you might admit me. You're not fine. Dr. Jekyll is from home, replied Mr Hyde, blowing in the key. And then suddenly but still without looking up. How did you now? May, he asked. Oh, your side said, Mr Utterson. But what? Will you do? Me a favour? With pleasure replied to the other. What shall it be? Well, will you let me see your face? Asked the lawyer. Mr. Hyde appeared to hesitate. And then, as if upon some certain reflection, fronted about with an air of defiance, and the pair stared each other pretty fixedly for a few seconds. Oh, now I shall know you again said Mr Addison. It may be useful. Yeah. Returned. Mr. Hyde Isas. Well, we have met and APRA power. You should have my address. And he gave a number of a street in Soho. God, God, I thought Mr Utterson Candy too have been thinking of the will. But he kept his feelings to himself, had only grunted an acknowledgement of the address and then said the how did you know me by description was the reply whose description? Way we have Common friends said Mr Addison, common friends. A good Mr Hyde. A little horsefly. You and I get Carol, for instance, said the lawyer he never told you. Cried Mr Hyde with a flush of anger. I did not think you would have lied. Come said Mr Utterson, That is not fitting language. The other snow allowed into a savage laugh. And the next moment, with extra ordinary quickness he had unlocked the door on disappeared into the house.
