A. Mr. Utterson sometimes seems to appear envious of those who don’t follow the rules.
Explanation:
In this passage from Part 1 of "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson
, what the author suggests with the line “sometimes wondering, almost with envy" is that <em>Mr. Utterson sometimes seems to appear envious of those who don’t follow the rules. </em>Mr. Utterson is a gentleman. He always does what he must do. He does not express feelings, he never smiles. Although he is austere in his daily life and abides by the rules he does not judge those who don't. Moreover, he wishes to help them. He somehow envies them.
