—4_ MURDER IN THE STREET year later, a terrible murder takes place in a central Part of London. It happens near the River Thames at 11 o'clock at night. A small, crooked man beats an old gentleman to death. A woman reports this murder to the police at three in the morning. This woman works as a cleaning lady in a rich man’s house. At eleven at night, she is standing at her bedroom’s window. She sees an old gentleman looking around in the street. Then a crooked, short man appears near him. The old man stops him politely and Says something to him. The woman can see both men clearly in the moonlight. ‘Perhaps the old man is asking for directions to the nearest cabstand,’ she thinks to herself. Then she recognizes the crooked man. It is Mr Hyde! He sometimes visits her master, and she dislikes him. Suddenly, the woman sees Hyde waving his cane at the old man angrily. Then he hits the old man with it. The Poor old man falls down. Hyde continues to beat him until his wooden cane breaks in two. He tramples over his body and quickly walks away. The woman faints in horror at this sight. She comes to herself at three in the morning. The old man is lying dead on the street. One of part of Hyde's cane is near the man. The woman immediately calls for the police. When the police arrive, they want to know who the dead man is. They find an envelope in one of his pockets. The envelope has Utterson’s name and address on it. It has a stamp and seal, too. So, the police call Utterson to the scene. Utterson recognizes the dead man. ‘This is Sir Danvers Carew’ he says. ‘I know him very well. | am his lawyer.’ Danvers Carew is a very important man. So, now the police are more interested in the murder. ~24-Murder in the Street man falls down.

And the police inspector asks for Utterson's help because he is a lawyer, He knows many people in London. The inspector shows him the broken cane, and Utterson gets shocked. ‘lremember this cane. It is my gift to Dr. Jekyll,’ he thinks to himsei, Then he turns to the inspector and says, ‘The killer is a small, crooked man, isn’t he?” "Yes, the cleaning lady says so,’ the inspector answers. So, Utterson quickly goes to Dr. Jekyll house. Dr Jekyll also knows about the murder. It is in all the newspapers. ‘I am afraid of Hyde now, He can kill me, too,’ Jekyll says to him. There is panic in his voice. And Utterson can feel it, too. ‘ You must give me Hyde's address,’ he says, ‘The police must catch him quickly.’ And Jekyll gives the address of Hyde's house in a poor and bad neighbourhood. An hour later, Utterson and the inspector arrive at Hyde's building. The landlady opens the door and says Mr Hyde is not there at the moment. Then she says, ‘He has a room upstairs, but | rarely see him. He comes late in the evenings and leaves early in the mornings.’ Then they all go to his room. It is in a big mess. There are clothes on the floor. The other half of the broken cane is there, too. Utterson notices an expensive painting on the wall and valuable objects on the shelves. They all belong to Dr. Jekyll. The inspector finds pieces of burned paper covered with ashes. One of them is the burnt end of a cheque book. He examines the book and is very excited. ‘Mr Utterson, we can catch this man very soon. We will go to his bank and wait there. He will need money and come to the bank very soon.’ -26-_ Murder in the Street ACTIVITIES A.

Poole takes him to his master’s laboratory. They go downstairs and Pass by the kitchen and the servants’ rooms. Then they walk across a big court and reach an old building. That is the laboratory. There is a lot of chemical equipment on the tables. At the far end of the laboratory, there are stairs going up to Jekyll’s study. Jekyll is sitting at his desk and folding a letter. He looks very ill and cold. He can't even stand up to greet Utterson. He just holds out his cold hand and shakes Utterson’s hand. ‘The police can't find your friend Hyde. A policeman waits in his bank every day. There are no signs of him anywhere,’ says Utterson. Dr Jekyll listens quietly. Then Utterson asks, ‘Are you hiding him? Are you helping him to escape?’ ‘Hyde is gone, and he is safe. He doesn’t want my help. We will never hear about him anymore. He will not come back. My friendship with him is over. | won't see him again. Trust me,’ Dr Jekyll says in an excited voice. ‘| hope you are right. If the police find him, you will be in trouble, too. You know that. You can go to prison for helping him.’ ‘Hyde is gone. | know it. This letter is from him. Please read it, but don’t tell the police,’ Jekyll says and hands the letter to Utterson. The letter is not in an envelope, and this surprises Utterson. In the letter, Hyde says he is going away and will not return. He thanks Jekyll for his kindness. He also says he won't be a problem for Jekyll anymore. -30-pr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in his office with his head clerk Mr. Guest, Utterson trusts him very much and shares knows Dr Jekyll, too.

It’s an invitation to his dinner party,’ says Utterson. Guest takes the note and puts it next to Hyde’s letter.
