进阶段-化身博士（原著版第24集）

一，原文文章：

‘You fear, I suppose, that it might lead to his detection?’ asked thelawyer.

‘No,’ said the other. ‘I cannot say that I care what becomes ofHyde; I am quite done with him. I was thinking of my own character,which this hateful business has rather exposed.’

Utterson ruminated awhile; he was surprised at his friend’s selfishness, and yet relieved by it. ‘Well,’ said he, at last, ‘let me see theletter.’

The letter was written in an odd, upright hand and signed‘Edward Hyde’: and it signified, briefly enough, that the writer’s benefactor, Dr Jekyll, whom he had long so unworthily repaid for athousand generosities, need labour under no alarm for his safety ashe had means of escape on which he placed a sure dependence. Thelawyer liked this letter well enough; it put a better colour on theintimacy than he had looked for; and he blamed himself for some ofhis past suspicions.

‘Have you the envelope?’ he asked.

‘I burned it,’ replied Jekyll, ‘before I thought what I was about.But it bore no postmark. The note was handed in.’

‘Shall I keep this and sleep upon it?’ asked Utterson.

‘I wish you to judge for me entirely,’ was the reply. ‘I have lostconfidence in myself.’
