When he thinks about the events of the previous night, he feels his hatred for Basil return. He decides not to think it over though, hoping not to drive himself mad. After breakfasting he send for an old friend called Alan Campbell, a chemist he used to know quite intimately. While waiting, Dorian reads, and reflects on his former friendship with the man, and draws faces that strangely all seem to resemble Basil in some way. Campbell arrives against his wishes, and announces that he came only as he believed it a matter of life and death. Dorian confesses that there is a dead man upstairs, and asks Campbell to use his chemical knowledge to get rid of it. Campbell refuses outright, and only after Dorian extorting him, does Campbell agree to get rid of the body. After sending off for all he would need, Dorian takes him upstairs, and he starts his work; Dorian quickly rushing in beforehand to cover the portrait, that is now boasting bloody hands. Campbell works all day and then leaves. When Dorian goes up stairs, the body is gone and the room smells of Nitric acid.
