Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.About a week has passed, and I am now finishing this statement under the influence of the last of the old powders. This, then, is the last time, short of a miracle, that Henry Jekyll can think his own thoughts or see his own face (now how sadly altered!) in the glass.
