- "Henry Jekyll forged for a murderer!"
- Due to Uttersons' friendship with Jekyll, he cannot see if Jekyll has done anything wrong. This implies a very strong relationship between Utterson and Jekyll, showing how deeply they care for one another to the point where they believe that the other cannot be wrong.
- There is some information hinted to the reader that Jekyll might be up to something wrong, yet Utterson ignores it.
- "The death of Sir Danvers was, to his way of thinking, more than paid for by the disappearance of Mr. Hyde"
- Utterson viewed Hyde as thread towards Jekyll, so much so that he rather have an MP (who were thought to be untouchable) die rather than Hyde be around Jekyll.
- Indicates the strong friendship between Utterson and Jekyll, showing how much Utterson cares for his friend.
- "Henry Jekyll forged for a murderer!"

- "unscientific balderdash ... would have estranged Damon and Pythias"
- It shows how Lanyon and Jekyll seem to disagree over a point in science, with Lanyon thinking that Jekyll is wrong on what his proposal was.

- "Hyde-bound pedant"
- End
- "Upon the reading of this letter, I made sure my colleague was insane"
- Dr Lanyon seems to uphold Jekyll's request not to entirely out of friendship, but out of curiosity. It can be implied that Lanyon still doesn't entirely trust Jekyll.
- "Serve me, my dear Lanyon and save Your friend, H.J.”"
- Dr Jekyll uses his friendship with Dr Lanyon to make him do a deed for him, which can be seen as Dr Jekyll exploiting his friendship to help himself.
