London was startled by a crime of singular ferocity
Description of London on the night of Carew’s murder
‘a fog rolled over the city’ ‘ brilliantly lit by the full moon’
An aged and beautiful gentleman with white hair (Carew)
seemed to breathe such an innocent and old-worldkindness of disposition (Carew)
Seemed to listen with an ill-contained impatience (Hyde)
All of a sudden he broke out in a great flame of anger, stamping with his foot, brandishing the cane
Broke out of all bounds and clubbed him to the earth
With ape-like fury
Hailing down a storm of blows
Bones were audiblyshattered
Incredibly mangled
Insensate cruelty
Description of Soho when Utterson is driving to Hyde’s flat
‘ first fog of the season’ ’ a greatchocolate-coloured pall lowered over heaven’ ‘ the wind was continuallycharging and routing these embattled vapours’ ‘ A glow of a rich, lurid brown, like the light of some strange conflagration’ ‘ a haggard shaft of daylight’ ‘ he was conscious of some touch of that terror of the law’
