 D
Mr Utterson was sitting by the fire after dinner when he was surprised to receive a visit from Doctor Jekyll's servant(仆人), Poole. The old man looked pale and frightened.
"Mr Utterson, something is wrong," said Poole.
"Sit down, Poole, and drink some wine(酒). Then tell me all about it," said Mr Utterson. Poole sat down. "The doctor locked himself up in his study, sir. I am frightened."
"What are you afraid of?" asked Mr Utterson. Poole did not answer the question. "I have been afraid for more than a week," he stopped and stared(注视) down at the floor.
"Something terrible is happening to my master. I can't explain. But ... please, sir, can you come with me and see for yourself?"
At once Mr Utterson took his hat and coat. Together they made their way to Doctor Jekyll's house. When they arrived at the house, Poole knocked softly at the front door. The door was opened just a little and a voice from inside asked, "Is that you, Poole?"
"Yes. Open the door."
They came into the hall, and Mr Utterson was very surprised to find that the room was full of people. Every servant in the house was there. They looked like a crowd of frightened children.
"What are you all doing here? Your master would be annoyed. Don't you have work to do?"
"They're frightened," said Poole. A little servant girl began to cry.
"Mr Utterson, sir, please follow me." He led the way across the back garden towards the study.
"Come as quietly as you can, sir. I want you to hear, but I don't want him to hear you. And sir, if he asks you to go inside, don't go."
Again, Mr Utterson was very surprised. Why did Poole say such strange words?
"Wait here, sir," whispered Poole. He himself, controlling his fear, knocked on the study door.
"Mr Utterson would like to see you, sir," he called.
"Tell him I cannot see anyone," said a voice from inside the study.
"Thank you, sir," said Poole. He led Mr Utterson back across the garden and into the house.
"Sir," he said, "was that my master's voice?"
Mr Utterson's face was pale. "It has changed," he said.
"Changed? You're right," said Poole. "I've worked for Doctor Jekyll for twenty years. That was not my master's voice."
