One day his friend Utterson and Enfield Richard walked in a wealthy district ofLondon, his attention focused on a small house that looks to be abandoned. Enfield told his friend a story in which a little scary looking man named Edward Hyde, he trampled a girl in the street, without scruples. This anger at Richard, who reached the aggressor and made a reprimand, it does not upset because the man was so quiet. Already being present on the girl's father and a doctor asked ahundred pounds compensation for the incident, Mr. Hyde entered the small, neglected house and took a check with the money order signed by Henry Jekyll, a respectable doctor it was a good friend of Utterson.
