Dr Jekylls Will
Dear Mr. Utterson, I do not blame our old friend, but I share his view that we must never meet. I mean from henceforth to lead a life of extreme seclusion; you must not be surprised, nor must you doubt my friendship, if my door is often shut even to you. You must suffer me to go my own dark way.
I have brought on myself a punishment and a danger that I cannot name. If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also. I could not think that this earth contained a place for sufferings and terrors so unmanning; and you can do one thing, Utterson, to lighten this destiny, and that is to respect my silence.
Hyde? No, never heared of him. Since my time.
Dr. Lanyon, did you ever come across a protégé of Dr. Jekyll's-one Hyde?
Mr. Hyde? I am an old friend of Dr. Jekyll's. You must have heard my name, and I thought that you might admit me. Plus, may I have a small glimpse at your face? Then I shall know you again.
You will not find Dr. Jekyll; he is from home. And also, yes indeed; it is as well we have met.
Is Dr. Jekyll home by any chance? I'd like to speak with him.
I'm sorry, Dr. Jekyll is gone from home for now.
Two weeks later after one of Dr. Jekyll's pleasant dinners, Mr. Utterson confronts Dr. Jekyll about Mr. Hyde. But Jekyll is weirdly defensive. He tells Utterson that he can rid Mr. Hyde whenever he chooses; But for now, he is sticking around.
I've heard about your will and Mr. Hyde, and I don't approve of how a man like Hyde can inherit from you.
I can be rid of Hyde whenever I want! I have great interest in Mr. Hyde, and I wish you get his rights for him.
Exactly one year later, Sir. Danvers Carew, a celebrity, gets rapidly clubbed to death. The witness, reveals it was the infamous Mr. Hyde.

When Mr. Utterson and the police entered Mr. Hyde's house, they found that it was completely ransacked, signifying that Mr. Hyde has quickly left with his belongings.
?
!
Have you heard the news?
Mr. Utterson goes to see Dr. Jekyll, which he finds him to look very pale and sick. Dr. Jekyll says that he shall never set eyes apon him, and that he is, however, still sure of him. Jekyll also hands Utterson a letter.
Your fear, I suppose, that this might lead to detection?
Carew was my client, but so are you. You have not been mad enough to hide this fellow?
I am quite sure of him. I cannot say that I care of what becomes of Hyde.
I swear to God I will never set eyes on him again, Utterson.
Do you want to see the letter?
WHAT!? Henry Jekyll forge for a murder!
To: Dr. Jekyll
There's a rather singular resemblance; the two hands are in many points identical.
I that from Dr. Jekyll, sir? I recognize the handwriting.
Mr. Utterson, I have had a shock, and I shall never recover.
I wish to see or hear no more of Dr. Jekyll. I am quite done with him.
Dr. Jekyll is ill, too. Have you see him?
Tut-tut!
In event of the disappearance or death of Dr. Henry Jekyll,all of his possessions,
including his house personal belongings, are to be transferred to Mr. Edward Hyde.
Not to be opened till the death or disappearence of Dr. Henry Jekyll.
I am very low, Utterson, very low. It will not last long, thank god.
You stay too much indoors, you should be out, whipping up the circulation like Mr. Enfield and me.
I daren't say, sir. But will you come along with me and see for yourself?
Mr. Utterson, there is something wrong.
Utterson, sir, i'm afraid. I can bare it no more. I think there has been foul play.
Bless me Poole. What brings you here?
Foul play! What foul play?
They're all afraid.
What, what? Are you all here?
Mr. Utterson, sir, is asking to see you.
Tell him I cannot see anyone.
That voice was not Dr. Jekyll's. I believe that an impostor may have tooken his place.
Dr. Jekyll, I demand to see you.
Utterson, for God's sake have mercy!
When Mr. Poole broke down the door to Dr. Jekyll's labratory, they had found Mr. Hyde dead on the ground. He was dressed in Dr. Jekyll's clothes, and was holding a potion. They later concluded that Dr. Jekyll was actually Mr. Hyde
