stamping with his foot an brandishing his cane… like a madman
‘Mr hyde broke
out of all bounds and clubbed him to the earth’
‘And next moment,
with ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim under foot and hailing down a storm of blows, under which the bones were audibly shattered.’

rolled over the city in the small hours.’

beautiful gentleman with white hair’
