In this first chapter we are introduced to Mr Utterson who is a quiet, serious man and he works as a lawyer. He is kind and good with other people. He doesn´t have many friends but he has one that´s called Richard Enfield and they are very different from each other. They like to take long walks through the streets of London and they often go to a strange, dark building. In one of this walks, Mr Enfield told to his friend one anecdote that happened to him  a while ago. Mr Enfield explained that one night, he was walking along the street where the strange building is and he saw that a little girl and a short man bumped into each other and the child fell down, but the man walked all over the child´s body. Then Mr Enfield fetched the man who gave a proud, black look to him. Mr Enfield adviced him that he would tell to all the people what happened. The strange man agreed to gave money to the child´s family and to him. Mr Utterson was surprised because he knew who the strang man was and that he lived in this strange, dark building. His name was Hyde.
