Let's show that on the example given.
We might not be familiar with the meaning of the word novice, however we see that the conjunction although is used. This conjunction denotes opposition, a change of tone to express something that's contrary to previous information.
Now, it's obvious, from this context, that the word novice means opposite of experienced.
This way, without looking up a dictionary, we could discover the meaning of the word.
Dr. Lanyon is an intelligent, respectable lawyer who is suspicious the "Mr. Hyde" is threatening or bullying Dr. Jekyll into giving him property and leaving money for him in his will.

The answer would be hearkens which means "to listen"
Hope this helps! :)
