Read the passage from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
"I do not blame our old friend,” Jekyll wrote, "but I share his view that we must never meet. I mean from henceforth to lead a life of extreme seclusion; you must not be surprised, nor must you doubt my friendship, if my door is often shut even to you. You must suffer me to go my own dark way. ”
Now, read the prediction.
I predict that Utterson will refuse to abandon Jekyll completely and will continue to seek him out.
Which line most confirms this prediction?
“. . . it may be doubted if, from that day forth, Utterson desired the society of his surviving friend with the same eagerness.”
“He thought of him kindly; but his thoughts were disquieted and fearful.”
“He went to call indeed; but he was perhaps relieved to be denied admittance . . .”
“Utterson became so used to the unvarying character of these reports, that he fell off little by little in the frequency of his visits.”
