Utterson protests at such a display of hatred, but Lanyon is firm. He is vehement: He is done with the doctor from now on, he will regard Jekyll as being already dead. He says that he never wishes to see or talk about Dr. 'I have had a shock,' he tells Utterson, and when Utterson mentions their friend Jekyll's similar illness, Lanyon's face changes. Utterson cannot help himself he remarks on how very ill Lanyon looks, and the doctor admits that indeed, he is seriously ill. Utterson senses that Lanyon, however, is not dying of physical decay it seems as though he is a victim of some 'deep-seated terror' within his mind. Lanyon 'had his death-warrant written legibly upon his face.' He is relieved to find that the doctor is at home, but when he sees Lanyon, he is stunned to discover that his old friend is terribly ill. For that reason, Utterson hurries off to see Dr. But now it seems that Jekyll has lapsed into a grave illness that threatens both his body and his soul. He had come to believe that both Jekyll's mental and physical health had returned to him.

Likewise, he is turned away several more times. Yet, on January 8, Utterson dined with Jekyll, and only four days after this festive and merry dinner party, Utterson goes to see his old friend and is turned away by Poole. He is seen often in public, and people take note of how happy and healthy he looks. The doctor comes out of his self-imposed seclusion and begins giving dinner parties again. But, as for the man Hyde, it is as though Jekyll was right: Hyde seems to have permanently left his quarters in Soho (then, a down-and-out, bohemian section of London) and escaped - never to be heard of again.Ĭoincidentally, just as the disappearance of Hyde seems to be a matter of fact, Jekyll's sanity and his sense of good health return.

More tales about his past acts of cruelty are uncovered, and a general sense of Hyde's vile and violent life remains.

Yet, if the man himself has disappeared, past stories about him continue to surface. Despite the fact that thousands of pounds are offered for Sir Danvers' murderer, Scotland Yard receives no information.
