• Mr Utterson visits Dr Jekyll who is in a sick state. Dr Jekyll then gives Mr Utterson a letter which he is told that is written by Mr Hyde.                                                        “…close up to the warmth , sat Dr Jekyll , looking deadly sick.”
• Mr Utterson reads it and gives it to his clerk is by chance, a handwriting expert.         “…’Well I shall consider,’ returned the lawyer. ‘And now one word more: it was Hyde who dictated the terms in your will about that disappearance?’…”
• When Mr Utterson goes home, a messenger comes to deliver an invitation written by Dr Jekyll.        “…’there was a letter handed in today: what was the messenger like?’
• The clerk then also examines it and says that both letters and handwriting were very similar and was written by the same person. “…’there’s a rather singular resemblance; the two hands are in many points identical: only differently sloped.’
• Mr Utterson starts getting doubts   and worried that Dr Jekyll forged the letter from Mr Hyde.”… But no sooner was Nr Utterson alone that night, than he locked the note into his safe where it reposed from that time forward. ‘What!’ he thought. ‘Henry Jekyll forge for a murderer!’ And his blood ran cold in his veins.”

• The “aged gentleman” was very polite but she recognised the other shorter man, which she had a dislike for. The shorter man slightly exposed a “heavy cane”, which suggested that he was going to use it.
• All of a sudden, Mr Hyde “broke out in a great flame of anger”. Shockingly, Mr Hyde clubbed him and then trampled all over him. Mr Hyde kept on beating him, and at this sight, the maid fainted.
