Hyde’s disappearance at first has positive effects on Jekyll’s disposition, to the point that he reconciles with Lanyon, a colleague he fell out with. However, Jekyll soon returns to a reclusive state, refusing to meet with any visitors. Utterson seeks out a now dying Lanyon who refuses to talk about Jekyll, and Utterson later receives a letter from Jekyll that says that while he still cares for him, he must stay away, as his sins are too much to bear. Lanyon passes away weeks later, leaving behind a letter meant for Utterson with the instructions that he must not open it until Jekyll has died as well.

While on a stroll, Mr. Utterson and Mr. Enfield, two respectable English gentlemen, come upon a building that Enfield relates a story about. One evening, Enfield explains, he witnessed and apprehended a hideous man who had just trampled over a girl, and when cornered by an angry mob, the man entered the building and gave the crowd a check bearing the name of a respectable man. Enfield eventually reveals the culprit’s name to be Hyde, which leads Utterson to surmise who the check belonged to, and the two men speculate that Hyde must be blackmailing the man.
