C8: Summary

Chapter 8: Doctor Lanyon's letter

Summary:

This chapter starts with Dr Lanyon's letter. There he explains that one day he received a letter from Dr Jekyll, who apologised for all the disagreements that they had during their life. In the letter he gave Dr Lanyon some instructions so as that he could save his life. And that's what Lanyon did. 

He went to see Poole, who took him into Dr Jekyll's room, from where he took some packets that contained a bottle of liquid, and a book. As the letter said, Dr Lanyon returned to his house and waited for a mysterious visitor until midnight. The visitor took all the liquids and drunk them. After some time, the man became Dr Jekyll. Finally, in Lanyon's letter, he tells Mr Utterson that the visitor was the man that killed Sir Danvers Carew: Mr Hyde.
