                                      1. "You could see by his looks that he cherished for Mr.Utterson a sincire and warm affection"
                                        1. "Make a clean breast of this in confidence; and I make no doubt I can get you out of it." Utterson's loyalty to Jekyll
                                        2. Science Vs Religion

                                              1. Lanyon more scientific
                                                1. for there before my eyes—pale and shaken, and half fainting, and groping before him with his hands, like a man restored from death—there stood Henry Jekyll!
                                                  1. Dies after witnessing trasformation
                                                    1. "A week afterwards Dr. Lanyon took to his bed, and in something less than a fortnight he was dead."
