Answer:

That he was fortunate to have a large inheritance, health, and a hardworking nature, and that he lived two different lives.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question refers to the 10th chapter of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It contains a confession letter written by Jekyll to Utterson.

Jekyll begins by talking about his youth. He says that he was fortunate to have a large inheritance, health, and a hardworking nature. However, that was not enough to keep him on the right path. There was always a darker side of him that he kept a secret while managing to maintain social respect. In the end, it turned out that he was living two lives: one of the respectability, and the other of hidden vices. In the end, these two sides of him completely split.
