The story was produced in a paper-covered volume costing a shilling, and was little heeded till a reviewer in The Times "caught this great stupid public by the ear," as Thackeray said. The clergy of all denominations did the rest. As they had preached on "Pamela," a hundred and forty years earlier, so they called the attention of their flocks to Hyde and to Jekyll.
He went on to ask how much the funeral might be costing, and seemed pleased to find Mr. Polly didn't know. "In that case," he said impressively, "it's pretty certain to cost more'n you expect, my boy." He meditated for a time. "I've seen a mort of undertakers," he declared; "a mort of undertakers."
