The Invisible Man | Chapter 11 : In the Coach and Horses | Summary


Cuss and Bunting are in Griffin's rooms, examining items he left behind in order to understand the earlier events of the day and to investigate Griffin. They discover three books titled "Diary." They attempt to read one of the diaries but are unable to decipher the letters and symbols. Cuss surmises some of it is written in Greek and suggests Bunting can read it. As they discuss this, Marvel knocks on the door and enters the room. He says, "Stand clear!" and then leaves. Cuss and Bunting assume the intruder is a sailor who accidentally entered the room, and Cuss locks the door. As he does, someone sniffs.
As Bunting bends his head to pore over a book, he feels a pressure on the back of his neck and hears a voice whisper, "Don't move, little men ... or I'll brain you both!" Griffin had entered the room with Marvel. He chides the men—as he pushes both of their heads toward the table—for invading "an investigator's private memoranda" and his "private rooms" and demands to know where his clothes are. After threatening the men by telling them he could "kill [them] both and get away quite easily," he promises to let them go unharmed if they do what he says. He tells them he needs clothing, accommodation, and his three books.

The Invisible Man | Chapter 10 : Mr. Marvel's Visit to Iping | Summary



                                                                        Video Summary


The villagers in Iping engage in the Whit Monday festivities, seemingly unconcerned about the events earlier in the day. The narrator says, for them, "It is so much easier not to believe in an invisible man." An injured Jeffers rests in the Coach and Horses parlor, and Mr. Wadgers retreats behind the locked doors of his house. Around four o'clock Marvel enters the village and goes to the Coach and Horses. He climbs the steps, opens the parlor door, and leaves when Mr. Hall tells him the bar is in another room. Marvel walks to the yard "upon which the parlor window opened" in "an oddly furtive manner," and leans against a gatepost and smokes. He then reappears, carrying three books and a bundle tied in a blue cloth.
His odd manner attracts Mr. Huxley's attention. When he sees the strange man go into the yard, he chases after him. Griffin, an unseen force, stops Mr. Huxley. He catches Huxley's shin "in some mysterious fashion" so "he [is] no longer running" but flying through the air, then landing on the ground

Character Sketch Of Mr. Marvel | The invisible Man | Chapter 9




Mr. Marvel is a unique figure, bearded, plump and short of
limbs. His very sight can make anybody get amused. He wears
funny silk hat, twine, and shoelaces, substitute for buttons at initial
points of his robes. He is a jolly old tramp, resourceless and lives
perhaps on charity. He does drink and that too perhaps to forget
his pitiable condition. In spite of his tattered condition, he looks
somewhat satisfied and tries to enjoy his stay in the midst of nature.
He is a fickle minded person. When he is threatened by the invisible
man, he changes his mind to help him. This fickle-mindedness
makes him a practical man and he knows how to make best of the
prevailing condition. He does know that an invisible man is a man
of power and can do anything. He accedes to his demand and gets
ready to help him. He is not stubborn and he cannot afford to be so.
He easily submits to some temptations put before him. He appears
to be an interesting character.

The Invisible Man | Chapter 8 : In Transit | Summary



                             VIDEO SUMMARY

Gibbons, a non-professional expert in natural history was lying on
the big open downs. Within a couple of miles, there was not a trace
of a human being. He was dozing. Suddenly he heard the sound of
a man sneezing, coughing and then sweating savagely. He looked
up but no trace of anyone present over there. The voice continued
to swear and the words used by the voice were definitely from the
mouth of a refined and civilized man. It grew to a climax and then
it diminished, inch by inch, and died away in the distance, going
in the direction of Adderdean. It finally came to a silence with
choked sneeze. Gibbons had no knowledge about the bizarre
happenings at Iping. He got disturbed by the strange occurrence.
He got up and hurried down the hill towards Iping.

The Invisible Man | Chapter 7 : The Unveiling of the Stranger | Summary




At noon Griffin calls for Mrs. Hall and asks why she has not served him his meals or answered his bell. She presents his bill, which is past due, and asks him to pay it. Griffin tells her he is no longer waiting for a remittance to pay it, but now has the money. This makes her suspicious. She demands he explain how he made the chair move and how he got in the empty room.
Griffin tells Mrs. Hall to stop talking with "such extraordinary violence that he silence[s] her immediately." He tells her she does not understand who or what he is. He removes his false nose and hair, glasses, hat, and bandages, revealing he is invisible. Mrs. Hall is shocked at the sight of "nothingness, no visible thing at all." She runs outside, shrieking. The other villagers join her. Their screams attract a larger crowd, including Mr. Bobby Jaffers, the village constable, who arrives with Mr. Wadgers. They have brought an arrest warrant with them. Mr. Hall, Jaffers, and Wadgers enter the parlor to arrest Griffin, and a fight ensues—with the three villagers fighting an unseen foe. After Griffin surrenders, Jaffers informs him he is being arrested on charges of burglary. Griffin flees from the room by stripping off his clothes before Jaffers can handcuff him, leaving behind several battered and injured individuals and a crowd of panicked villagers.

The Invisible Man | Chapter 6 : The Furniture That Went Mad | Summary




On the day of the burglary at the vicarage, Mr. and Mrs. Hall are up early and in the cellar diluting the beer. Mr. Hall goes upstairs for a forgotten item and notices that the stranger's door is open. Coming back down the stairs, he sees the "bolts of the front door had been shot back." Distinctly remembering watching Mrs. Hall set the bolts before bed, he becomes suspicious of the stranger and enters his bedroom. It appears to be empty, adding to Mr. Hall's suspicion. He rushes to the cellar to tell his wife, and they both come upstairs to check the bedroom. As they do so, they hear the front door open and shut, and sneezing. In the bedroom, they witness inanimate objects—including the bedclothes, stranger's hat, sponge, furniture, and clothes—move about the room. They hear laughing "in a voice singularly like the stranger's." A chair charges Mrs. Hall, pressing "firmly against her back and impell[ing] her and Mr. Hall out of the room." The door is then slammed and locked.
Mrs. Hall attributes what she has seen to spirits. She wants to lock Griffin out of the inn, believing he is the cause of the evil spirits. Wanting the expertise of a "knowing man," she sends Millie to awaken Mr. Wadgers, the blacksmith, and bring him to the inn. After Wadgers arrives, Mr. Huxter and his apprentice join the Halls and discuss busting down Griffin's door. The question becomes moot when the door opens and a fully dressed Griffin appears. He walks down the stairs and into the parlor, then turns and "swiftly, viciously, slam[s] the door in their faces." After gathering his courage, Mr. Hall knocks on the parlor door to demand an explanation. Griffin shouts invectives through the door and does not open it.
