(On one occasion, he went on a eanoe trip along a river from the Belgian city of Antwerp to northern France. He wrote about itn his book, An Inland Voyage, published in 1878. It was in France, in 18 when Stevenson was 26, that he met Fanny Osbourne, a Am th wo children, who was separated from her husband. In 1878, she divorced and Stevenson went to meet her in California. Travelling by train from New York with very little money, he arrived thi almost dead. He tells the story ofthis journey in The Amateur Emigrant. ‘The couple married in 1880 and returned to England. ILLNESS AND SUCCESS Stevenson continued to write, but his health began to get worse again:he suffered from breathing problems, haemorthages and fever, all symptoms of tuberculosis. In 1884, on the recommendation of his doctor, the couple moved to Bournemouth on the south coast of England. He spent most of his time in bed, and it was there, in 1883, that he wrote his most famous novel, Treasure Island. However, he did not like Bournemouth, his health did not improve, he slept badly and his nightmares returned. In 1886, after a three-day attack of haemorrhaging, fever and a terrible nightmare, Stevenson wrote, in ust a few days, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It was an immediate success. Later, there were many theatre productions and more than 100 films made of the story, In the same year, he wrote another famous book, Kidnapped, and in 1888, The Black Arrow. Stevenson became the best-sel seats tree furniture and precious ornaments. In this period of his life, he was so thin that his wife was able to carry him downstairs to meet his visitors, Portrait of Stevenson ‘by his wife, Fanny Osbourne INAL YEARS Stevenson's father died in 1887, so he decided to take his mother, Fanny, and her son, Lloyd, to search for a better climate. They travelled to San Francisco and in June 1888, they left on a yacht for the islands of the Pacific Ocean. They spent the next three years sailing in the eastern and central Pacific, stopping at the Hawaiian islands, where Stevenson became good friends with King Kalakaua, and then they went to Australia and New Zealand. His health improved with the seaair. In1890, they arrived in the Samoan islands, where they decided tolive and build a house. Stevenson becamea very active member of the Samoan community. He was well loved by the local people, § who called him “ Etat! In the Samoan language, ust ® is book and tala is writer.

JEKYLL f oMR.HYDE Dairy ek i eee Chapter Mrz. Utterson was a lawyer. His face was hard and he never smiled. His conversation was cold, infrequent and embarrassed. His character was a little boring, but kind. When he was with friends, and when he had drunk some wine, there was something very human shining in his eye; something which was never in his words, but which spoke more often in his actions. His friends were people in his family or those he had known fora long time. No one understood what he had in common with a ‘ery sociable and distant relative, Mr, Richard Enfield, but they both considered their Sunday walks together the jewel of each week. Although they said nothing, looked bored, and were extremely happy if they met someone else to talk to, they always refused other appointments so that they could enjoy their walks together. During one of these walks, they found themselves in a little street in a busy quarter of London, Its many small shops looked inviting, The doors were freshly painted, the pavements clean ma) nave vou ever noricep rHar boone lll and the general air of happiness was in contrast to the other sad and dirty streets in the area. ‘Two doors from one comer, the line of shops was interrupted by the entry to a court. At that point, a dark building stood on the street, It was two floors high: on the lower floor there was only a very old door with no knocker or bell, and on the upper floor a discoloured wall with no windows. Every part of the sad and disty house showed that no one had cared for it for a very long time. ‘The two men were walking on the other side of the street when Mr, Enfield pointed towards the door and asked, "Have you ever noticed that door? It is connected with a very strange story” “Really?” said Mr, Utterson, “And what was that?” “Well,” replied Mr. Enfield, “I was coming home at about three o'clock on a black winter morning. There were only lamps along the deserted streets; the people were all in bed, Suddenly, I saw two figures: one a little man who was walking quickly towards a crossroads, and the other a little gir! who was running very fast along a side street, Well, sir, the two crashed into one another at the corner; and then something horrible happened. The gil fell, Dut the man continued walking, and quite calmly, trampled’ on the child’s body, and left her screaming on the ground. Maybe it doesn't sound terrible, but it was shocking to see! ‘He wasn't like a man; he was like some kind of beast. I ran 1. trampled = walied vexyheaviy 2. beast = dangerous animal afier him, caught him and brought him back to where there was reaming child, He was look that was g ntened me. The people were the gil’ fumily and the doctor she had just been to call. Fortunately, the child was more frightened than hurt, bu me present seemed to hate this man, even the doctor. I saw him grow white with the desire to Kill him. But killing was not possil told the gentleman 12 SOreE a) ] | On frien th a scandal that everyone in London hhathe had done. And all the time we were speaking, the angry women ’ he said, ‘I can of course do nothing, but a gentleman never likes a scene. Tell me how much you want’ Well, we made him give a hundred pounds to the child’s 13 o THE STRANGE CASE OF OR. JERYLL AND IR, HYDE family; he didn't want to pay that much, but seeing the faces in the group around him, he at last agreed. ®) ‘The next thing was to get the money; and where do you think he took us? Yes, to that old door! He took out a key, went in, and soon came back with ten pounds in gold and a cheque for the rest. It was signed by a well-known person, who I cannot mention, T told him that it seemed very improbable that a man could walk through a dark, dirty door at four o'clock in the morning and come out with another man’s cheque for almost a hundred pounds. But he replied with disgust, ‘Do not worry, Iwill stay with you till the banks open and cash the cheque myself So we all set off, the doctor, and the child’s father, and the man and myself. We passed the rest of the night in my rooms, and the next day, after breakfast, we all went to the bank. I gave the cheque to the bank clerk myself, and told him I believed it to be a forgery, but it was genuine!” “Tut-tut,” said Mr, Utterson, L see you feel as I do,” said Mz. Enfield. “Yes, it's a bad story. ‘This man is someone that nobody would want to know; and the person who signed the cheque is quite famous and one of those people who often helps the poor. Blackma an honest man paying for some mistake when he was young Blackmail House is what [ now call that place with the door.” 4 I suppose: 15. forgery = illegal copy {blackmail = shen people sacfor money to keep silent about secre information do you think o “THE STRANGE CASE i (OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE Mr. Utterson asked suddenly, “And you don't know if the person sho signed the cheque lives there?” “No, I don’t. Not a probable place, is it?” replied Mr. Enfield. “And you never asked for information?” asked Mr. Utterson. “No, six; the more something looks strange, the less T ask" “A very good idea,” said the lawyer. “But I have studied the place,” continued Mr, Enfield, “It is, not like a house. There is no other door, and nobody goes in or out except occasionally the gentleman I met.” ‘The men walked on in silence; and then, “Enfield,” said Mr. Utterson, “there’s one point I want to ask: what was the name of that man who walked over the child?” “Well,” said Mr, Enfield, I don’t see a problem now in telling you that his name was Hyde.” “Hmm,” said Mr, Utterson. “What does he look like?” “He is not easy to describe, There is something wrong with his appearance; something unpleasant, something horrible, in fact.” ‘Mr, Utterson again walked in silence, obviously thinking, “Are you sure he used a key?” he asked at last. “I know it must seem a strange question, but the fact is, I do not need to ask you the name on the cheque, because I know it already. I hope, Richard, that all your details are correct.” “Why didn’t you tell me before that you knew the man?” replied Enfield a little irritated. “But the details are exact. The man had a key; and he still has it. I saw him use it about a week ago.” Mr. Utterson didn't say anything, and the young man continued, “Let us promise never to talk about this again.” “With all my heart, Richard,” said the lawyer.
