The Bloody Cane

Mr. Hyde - "You best watch yourself. This cane has seen blood already, and though the law may be after me, if given a good reason, I'll use it. Tell me, have you ever heard the sound of bones shattering?"

"Presently her eye wandered to the other, and she was surprised to recognise in him a certain Mr Hyde, who had once visited her master and for whom she had conceived a dislike. He had in his hand a heavy cane, with which he was trifling; but he answered never a word, and seemed to listen with an ill-contained impatience. And then all of a sudden he broke out in a great flame of anger, stamping with his foot, brandishing the cane, and carrying on (as the maid described it) like a madman." (Stevenson, 25)
