The police could not find (arrest) Mr Hydebecause
he had disappeared. For two months things seemed
normal, and then Dr Jekyll suddenly refused to see
visitors. Dr Lanyon became ill (sick), and told Mr
Utterson not to speak (say) Dr Jekyll’s name in his
house. Then Dr Lanyon died and left Mr Utterson an
envelope, which was not to be opened until the death
or disappearance of Dr Jekyll. One day Mr Utterson
saw Dr Jekyll at his window,and the expression (look)
of hopelessness on his friend’s face upset (worried)
him deeply.

In January Dr Lanyon received a letter from Dr Jekyll,
asking him to collect some chemicals, a bottle, and a
book from Dr Jekyll’s house and to give these things
to a man who would come to his home at midnight.
At midnight a strange, evil-looking man arrived, and
after he hadmixed the chemicals and a liquid in a
glass, he invited Dr Lanyon to stay and experience
something unknown to science. Then the stranger
drank the liquid and changed into Dr Jekyll in front of
Dr Lanyon’s eyes.
