  • 'he had grown taller by at least half a foot since my last remembrance of him'
  • 'the man was pale, with a face which might have been the face of an angel'
  • 'a tall gaunt shape such as I have seen once or twice when blinking through the smoke of furnace fires'
  • 'the hideous old man, with his yellow face and white hair'
  • 'his face was no longer the face of a man but that of a savage beast'
  • 'his eyes were fixed upon mine with a gaze that seemed to read my very soul'
  • 'I felt it quivering under my hand like jelly'
  • 'my heart sank within me; for though this newcomer bore all Mr. Hyde's outward marks, yet there was a look about him that mutely begged me to believe that he was not the criminal'
  • 'he had been so long alone with his thoughts that they had taken on a life of their own'
  • 'there was something wrong with his appearance - something displeasing, something downright detestable'

  • 'it is impossible to describe the horror of deformity that I saw'
  • 'his eyes glittered like diamonds'
  • 'an ungodly grin broke over his features'
  • 'a low growl rumbled in its throat'

  • 'the face of man and devil blent together'
  • 'I felt as if my blood ran icy cold within me'
  • 'he was pale to the point of transparency, and every detail of his form stood out in bold relief against the dark background'
  • 'it seemed to be an evil spirit that sat there'
  • 'my heart grew sick; it was the old story - he had murdered some poor woman or other in the East End'
  • 'his eyes were fixed upon mine with an expression of burning intensity that seemed to read my very soul'
  • 'it was like looking down into one of those deep wells, where the water seems to be made almost transparent by its own depth'
  • 'there is something terribly wrong about him'
