Summary chapter 1: The mysterious door.
We’re introduced to Mr. Utterson who is a good friend and
good-natured man. We’re introduced to
his friend and relative Mr. Enfield. The two of them take long walks every
Sunday that are slightly mysterious. One Sunday they walk past a door, which
prompts Mr. Enfield to tell a story.
Mr. Enfield’s story goes like this: Early in the morning, he
sees a man trample over a little girl. Mr. Enfield corners the man. The man is
evil-looking and deformed .The entire crowd wants to kill the man, who responds
with something along the lines of "I’ll give you lots of money if you
don’t kill me."He disappears inside and emerges with a "cheque"
for almost 100 pounds, drawn from the bank account of a well-respected man.
The check is genuine. Mr. Enfield speculates that the evil
man is blackmailing the well-respected man. Mr. Enfield says that he calls the
place with the door "Black Mail House."The two men then speculate
about the door, and Mr. Enfield finally says that his policy on odd events is
not to ask any questions of any kind. Mr. Utterson has no such policy; he asks
Mr. Enfield for the name of the man who trampled the child. It is Mr. Hyde. Mr.
Utterson then declares that he knows the name of the well-respected man. This
whole story hits home for him.
