Question 9 of 24 • Common Core ELA 12 - ELA3012 B-IC

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.I want you to postpone all other engagements for to-night—ay, even if you were summoned to the bedside of an emperor; to take a cab, unless your carriage should be actually at the door; and with this letter in your hand for consultation, to drive straight to my house. Poole, my butler, has his orders; you will find him waiting your arrival with a locksmith. The door of my cabinet is then to be forced: and you are to go in alone; to open the glazed press (letter E) on the left hand, breaking the lock if it be shut; and to draw out, with all its contents as they stand, the fourth drawer from the top or (which is the same thing) the third from the bottom.

A
a loyal butler waiting in the dark.

a mysterious old house at night.
