6 P46426A Use this extract to answer Question 2. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Extract taken from Search for Mr Hyde. With that he [Utterson] blew out his candle, put on a great coat and set forth in the direction of Cavendish Square, that citadel of medicine, where his friend, the great Dr Lanyon, had his house and received his crowding patients. '

If anyone knows, it will be Lanyon,'

he had thought. The solemn butler knew and welcomed him;

he was subjected to no stage of delay, but ushered direct from the door to the dining room where Dr Lanyon sat alone over his wine. This was a hearty, healthy, dapper, red-faced gentleman, with a shock of hair prematurely white, and a boisterous and decided manner. At sight of Mr Utterson, he sprang up from his chair and welcomed him with both hands. The geniality, as was the way of the man, was somewhat theatrical to the eye;

but it reposed on genuine feeling. For these two were old friends, old mates both at school and college, both thorough respecters of themselves and of each other, and, what does not always follow, men who thoroughly enjoyed each other'

s company. After a little rambling talk, the lawyer led up to the subject which so disagreeably preoccupied his mind. '

I suppose, Lanyon,'

said he, '

you and I must be the two oldest friends that Henry Jekyll has?'

'

I wish the friends were younger,'

chuckled Dr. Lanyon. '

But I suppose we are. And what of that? I see little of him now.'

'

Indeed?'

said Utterson.'

I thought you had a bond of common interest.'

'

We had,'

was the reply.'

But it is more than ten years since Henry Jekyll became too fanciful for me. He began to go wrong, wrong in mind;

and though of course I continue to take an interest in him for old sake'

s sake, as they say, I see and I have seen devilish little of the man. Such unscientific balderdash,'

added the doctor, flushing suddenly purple, '

would have estranged Damon and Pythias.'

This little spirt of temper was somewhat of a relief to Mr Utterson.
