Mr Utterson was a serious man who did not smile very often. But he was kind and intelligent and had many good friends. Most of his friends were doctors or lawyers. They liked Utterson because he listened carefully, but said very little. And Utterson always helped his friends. |

One Sunday afternoon, Enfield took Utterson to the East End of London. This was a poor part of the city, but there were also many interesting markets and shops in the East End. People from different countries lived there. On weekdays it was a lively and busy place. However, on Sundays, the markets and shops were closed and the streets were empty. |
