Why not to worry if you write differently according to your mood

[adham]

The following excerpt is from Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde written by Robert Louis Stevenson. My insertions are within brackets and in blue colour.

"This is a sad business about Sir Danvers," he [Mr Utterson, the lawyer] said.

[Mr Hyde has killed Sir Danvers recently]

"Yes, sir, indeed. It has elicited a great deal of public feeling," returned Guest [the clerk]. "The man [Mr Hyde], of course, was mad."

"I should like to hear your views on that," replied Utterson. "I have a document here in his handwriting; it is between ourselves, for I scarce know what to do about it; it is an ugly business at the best. But there it is; quite in your way a murderer's autograph."

Guest's eyes brightened, and he sat down at once and studied it with passion. "No, sir," he said: "not mad; but it is an odd hand."

"And by all accounts a very odd writer," added the lawyer.

Just then the servant entered with a note.

"Is that from Dr. Jekyll, sir?" inquired the clerk. "I thought I knew the writing. Anything private, Mr. Utterson?"

"Only an invitation to dinner. Why? Do you want to see it?"

"One moment. I thank you, sir"; and the clerk laid the two sheets of paper alongside and sedulously compared their contents. "Thank you, sir," he said at last, returning both; "it's a very interesting autograph."

There was a pause, during which Mr. Utterson struggled with himself. "Why did you compare them, Guest?" he inquired suddenly.

"Well, sir," returned the clerk, "there's a rather singular resemblance; the two hands are in many points identical: only differently sloped."

"Rather quaint," said Utterson.

"It is, as you say, rather quaint," returned Guest.

Though Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde possessed completely different personalities, they were basically the same man, hence their handwritings had a resemblance and possessed the basic characteristics.
