I noticed that too, Stevenson really knew how to just keep the charachters going. I was paticulalry surprised in the amount of action that occured in those few pages. Also, the descriptions and introductions of his charachters were phenomenal!

His skill with pacing a novel is one of Stevenson's strong points for sure. You notice it in most of his work, and it is especially prominent in "Treasure Island". As for The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde... haven't read it yet. But I have heard that the attempted "metaphysical allegory" in it failed.
