He put the glass to his lips and drank at one gulp. A cry followed; he reeled, staggered, clutched at the table and
held on, staring with injected eyes, gasping with open
mouth; and as I looked there came, I thought, a change
he seemed to swell-his face became suddenly black and
the features seemed to melt and alter-and the next
moment, I had sprung to my feet and leaped back against
the wall, my arms raised to shield me from that prodigy,
my mind submerged in terror.
"O God!" I screamed, and "O God!" again and again; for
there before my eyes-pale and shaken, and half fainting,
and groping before him with his hands, like a man
restored from death-there stood Henry Jekyll!
