CH1P:10:Search for Mr. Hyde.

It was a man of the name of Hyde. Hm, said Mr. Utterson. What sort of a man is he to see? He is not easy to describe. There is something wrong with his appearance; something displeasing, something down-right detestable. I never saw a man I so disliked, and yet I scarce know why. He must be deformed somewhere; he gives a strong feeling of deformity, although I couldnt specify the point. Hes an extraordinary looking man, and yet I really can name nothing out of the way. No, sir; I can make no hand of it; I cant describe him. And its not want of memory; for I declare I can see him this moment. Mr. Utterson again walked some way in silence and obviously under a weight of consideration. You are sure he used a key? he inquired at last. My dear sir... began Enfield, surprised out of himself. Yes, I know, said Utterson; I know it must seem strange. The fact is, if I do not ask you the name of the other party, it is because I know it already. You see, Richard, your tale has gone home. If you have been inexact in any point you had better correct it. I think you might have warned me, returned the other with a touch of sullenness. But I have been pedantically exact, as you call it. The fellow had a key; and whats more, he has it still.
