Chapter summary
Dr. Jekyll gives a dinner for five or six respected gentlemen. When the others leave, Utterson stays behind, as he often does, and raises the subject of Jekyll's will.
Jekyll brushes the matter aside. He calls Lanyon a hide-bound pedant who objects to his scientific heresies. When Utterson turns to Hyde, Jekyll's face goes pale and a dark shadow shows around his eyes. He says the situation is odd but not serious, and that he can be rid of Hyde whenever he chooses. He asks Utterson to let the matter drop because it is private.
Then Jekyll asks for one thing. He says he takes a real interest in Hyde and wants Utterson to promise to help Hyde and see that he gets his rights if Jekyll is gone. Utterson says he can never like Hyde, but he gives the promise.
