C7: Summary

Chapter 7: The last night

Summary:

This chapter is longer than the others, so there are lots of things to be explained about it. Mr Utterson receives a visit from Dr Jekyll's servant, Poole, who said that he was worried for the doctor, so they both went to his house. When they opened the door, all the other servants were in the room. They were scared of the situation. Poole took Mr Utterson into Dr Jekyll's room, and the man who answered wasn't the doctor, as they both agreed. Poole said that someone must have killed his master. Poole explains to Utterson that the man inside the room had asked him for some chemicals which the servant had to get in a chemist, but none of them were really good enough, so he had to go to another chemist, and like this a lot of times.

Mr Utterson and Poole decide to break the door to find out the murderer of Dr Jekyll, but all they found was a silent and comfortable room with a body lying on the floor. It was Mr Hyde. He was dead. 

Dr Jekyll's study contained strage things, like a mirror (why would he want a mirror on his study?), and Mr Utterson found in the desk a large packet adressed to him. He oped it and found lots of letters that contained the doctor's will. They said that all Dr Jekyll's money was to Gabriel John Utterson, it is, Mr Utterson. Between those letters they found one that had been writen that day. It was from Dr Jekyll and it said that Utterson should look inside Lanyon's letter, so Mr Utterson went home to find out what was going on.
