进阶段-化身博士（简写版第18集）

一，原文文章：

Time passed．The search for Mr Hyde continued．Sir Danvers Carew was an important and popular man and the police tried desperately to arrest the murderer and bring him to trial．But there was no sign of Mr Hyde himself， although the police and the newspapers discovered a lot about his past life．Nobody，it seemed，could say one good word about the wanted man． He was a cruel， violent man， who had lived an evil life full of hate and jealousy．None of this， however，was any help to the police． Mr Hyde had just disappeared．As time went by， Mr Utterson became calmer and more at peace with himself． He was truly sorry that his client， Sir Danvers Carew，was dead，but he was also very glad that Mr Hyde had disappeared． As for Doctor Jekyll， he too appeared calmer and happier．He came out into the world again．He invited friends to his house and accepted invitations to theirs． He had always been a good and generous man．Now，however，he became a churchgoer too． He was busy， he spent a lot of time in the fresh air and he looked happy and carefree．For morethan two months he was at peace with himself and the world．　On the 8th of January Mr Utterson was invited to dinner at Doctor Jekyll's house．Doctor Lanyon was there too．'This is quite like old times，'thought the lawyer as he watched Doctor Jekyll smiling at Doctor Lanyon．On January 12th，however，and again on the 14th，DoctorJekyll refused to see visitors．'The doctor is not well，'explained Poole．'He hopes you will forgive him，but he can not see anyone．'　Mr Utterson called again next day， and again the day after that．After two months of almost daily meetings with his oldfriend，the lawyer felt rather lonely．On the sixth evening he invited his clerk，Mr Guest，to dinner with him， and on the seventh night he went to visit Doctor Lanyon．
