First sentence: In Robert Louis Stevenson's world-famous 1886 horror story The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the respectable yet slightly centious Dr. Jekyll discovers the dreadful "truth . . . that man is not truly one, but truly two": in his case, Henry Jekyll, a man with a conscience but tempted by earthly pleasures, and an inner demon, Edward Hyde, an amoral, savage beast devoted only to his own interest and pleasure.
