‘We have come too late,’ he said sternly, ‘whether to save or punish. Hyde is gone to his account and it only remains for us to find the body of your master.’ (R. L. Stevenson, ‘The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’, ‘The Last Night’) — - Мы пришли слишком поздно, - сказал он сурово, - как для того, чтобы спасать, так и для того, чтобы наказывать. Хайд покончил счеты с жизнью, и нам только остается найти тело вашего хозяина.
