Chapter 9 - Dr Lanyon’s Narrative

• The door was very strong, the lock excellent
• How could the presence of these articles in my house affect either the honour, the sanity, or the life of my flighty colleague?
• Shocking expression of his face (Hyde)
• great muscular activity and great apparent debility of constitution
• I set it down to some idiosyncratic, personal distaste
• This person struck in me what I can only describe as a disgustful curiosity
• Dressed in a fashion that would have made an ordinary person laughable
• ‘something seizing, surprising, and revolting’ (Hyde)
• On fire with sombre excitement (hyde)
• So lively was his impatience
• conscious at his touch of a certain icy pang along my blood.
• I could see, in spite of his collected manner, that he was wrestling against the approaches of the hysteria
• I could hear his teeth grate with the convulsive action of his jaws
• He turned a dreadful smile to me
• he uttered one loud sob of such immense relief that I sat petrified.
• ‘Will you be wise? will you be guided?’
• ‘or has the greed of curiosity too much command of you?’
• ‘your sight shall be blasted by a prodigy to stagger the unbelief of Satan.’
• ‘ what follows is under the seal of our profession’
• ‘you who have so long been bound to the most narrow and material views, you who have denied the virtue of transcendental medicine, you who have derided your superiors – behold!
• He reeled, staggered, clutched
• His face became suddenly black and the features seemed to melt and alter
• ‘O God!’ I screamed, and ‘O God!’ again and again
• pale and shaken, and half-fainting, and groping before him
• like a man restored from death – there stood Henry Jekyll!
• I saw what I saw, I heard what I heard, and my soul sickened at it
• My life is shaken to its roots; sleep has left me; the deadliest terror sits by me at all hours of the day and night
