Dr. Lanyon’s Narrative

Mr. Utterson returns to his office and opens the letter from Dr. Lanyon. The letter describes how Dr. Lanyon received a letter from Dr. Jekyll asking him to go to his lab and retrieve a box. Dr. Lanyon was then asked to take this box back to his home where a representative of Dr. Jekyll’s would come for it in a few days. Dr. Lanyon did this, only to find that the representative was Mr. Hyde. Mr. Hyde went directly to the box and prepared a solution out of the ingredients in the box. When Mr. Hyde drank this preparation, he suddenly transformed into Dr. Jekyll. This was the shock that lead to Dr. Lanyon’s death.
