The first chapter narrates "The Story of the Door" , which was told by Mr Enfield to Mr Utterson, and is the first time that the author doesn 't respect the chronological order. This passage portrays the meeting between Mr Enfield and Mr Hyde in a busy quarter of London, where in a small street the gentleman saw Mr Hyde running into a little girl and hurting her carelessly. At the sight of that man, walking away from the crying child without even apologizing, Mr Enfield decided to take action: he asked money to the man in exchange of silence on such scandal.
