So, there was mounting in hot haste in the courtyard of old Brandon, and a rather ponderous selection of walking-sticks by the politicians of whom I was one intended for the windows of the assembly room. Lake rode; Tom Wealdon, myself, and two scriveners, squeezed into the dog-cart, which was driven by Jekyl, and away we went. It was a pleasant drive, under the noble old trees.
Parties of the regiment were sent to the different garrisons, and the expence the Trustees had formerly been at in maintaining them of course ceased. The General held his head-quarters at Frederica, but raised forts on some other islands lying nearer the Spaniards, particularly in Cumberland and Jekyl islands, in which he also kept garrisons to watch the motions of his enemies.
Into this I entered, and winding about for some time over its tortuous course, at a late hour in the afternoon the canoe emerged into a broad watercourse, down which I could look across Jekyl Sound to the sea. This broad stream was Jointer Creek, and I ascended it to find a spot of high ground upon which to camp.
They had a magnificent place in Newport; it was not large enough; they were always adding to it awning, a ballroom, some architectural whim or another. Margaret had a fancy for a cottage at Bar Harbor, but they rarely went there. They had an interest in Tuxedo; they belonged to an exclusive club on Jekyl Island.
But we have "fables," moralities, and psychology, Jekyl and Hyde, Markheim, and Will O' the Mill. We have the pasteboard feudal style, in which people say, "Ye can go, boy; for I will keep your good friend and my good gossip company till curfew aye, and by St. Mary till the Sun get up again."

An interesting condition, which has been studied more in France than elsewhere, is double consciousness, dual personality, or, as it is called by the Germans, Doppelwahrnehmungen. In these peculiar cases an individual at different times seems to lead absolutely different existences. The idea from a moralist's view is inculcated in Stevenson's "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde."
It appears how exactly he coincides in everything with Sir Joseph Jekyl. See Reflections, pp. 42, 43. Works, Vol. III. p. 270, present edition. Declaration of Right. Vindication of the Rights of Man, recommended by the several societies. "Omnes omnium charitates patria una complectitur." Cic.
At the same time he had advice, that three companies of foot had came along with him to that Spanish settlement. A few days afterwards this Commissioner came to Georgia by sea, and Oglethorpe, unwilling to permit him to come to Frederica, dispatched a sloop to bring him into Jekyl Sound, where he intended to hold a conference with him.
