For nearly ten years my health had been declining; and for some while before I set forth upon my voyage, I believed I was come to the afterpiece of life, and had only the nurse and undertaker to expect. It was suggested that I should try the South Seas; and I was not unwilling to visit like a ghost, and be carried like a bale, among scenes that had attracted me in youth and health. I chartered accordingly Dr. Merrit's schooner yacht, the Casco, seventy-four...

Extrait : "Quelques lenteurs, il faut en convenir, embarrassent le début. Peu nous importent, par exemple, les idées et les habitudes de M. Utterson, un personnage d'arrière-plan, dépositaire du testament bizarre qui fait passer tous les biens de Henry Jekyll entre les mains de son ami Edward Hyde, dans le cas de la disparition du testateur."

Extrait : "Depuis près de dix ans, ma santé allait déclinant ; et vers l'époque o j'entrepris mon voyage, je me croyais arrivé à l'épilogue de ma vie, sans plus rien à attendre que la garde-malade et le croque-mort. On me suggéra de tenter les Mers du Sud ; et je ne m'opposai pas à visiter comme un spectre et traverser comme un colis les paysages qui m'avaient attiré jeune et bien portant."
