NOVEL- THE INVISIBLE MAN
H. G. Wells.
 
Chapter 1.The Strange Man’s Arrival
 
Summary:A stranger arrives in Bramblehurst railway station. He is bundled from head to foot with only the tip of his nose showing. He enters the Coach & Horses Inn and demands a roo and a fire. Mrs. Hall, the owner prepares a supper for him and offers to take his coat and hat, but he refuses to take them off. When he finally removes the hat, his entire head is swathed in a bandage. Mrs. Hall thinks he has endured some accident. She tries to get him to talk about himself, but he is taciturn with her, although not particularly rude.
 
Notes: This introduction to the Invisible Man through the eyes of the town people is actually about midway through his own story. He has already gone from place to place trying to keep his cover and has committed two acts of violence, one against his own father and the other against the proprietor of a costume shop whom he tied and gagged in order to be able to steal clothing and money. Nevertheless, his intention at this point is simply to find a quiet place and work as quickly as possible to find an antidote to the invisibility. The primary thread of the story-that of the growing rumors and suspicions, which eventually contribute to his exposure-has begun.
 
Q1. H.G Wells has called Mrs. Hall’s guest ‘A Strange Man’ in the title of the first chapter. Justify.
 
H. G Wells is absolutely justified in calling Mrs. Hall‟s guest a strange man. The things that made him strange included his appearance which was far from that of a normal person. His big blue spectacles with sidelights, head swathed in bandages and his thick black hair peeping from here and there made him peculiar. His shiny pink nose stood out as a prominent feature of his otherwise nondescript face. His body language too, was unusual for he spoke from behind a table napkin. He smoked a pipe with the lower part of his jaw securely wrapped with a silk muffler. All this definitely made him strange and abnormal. His insistence on not allowing Mrs. Hall to take away his wet coat and hat for drying also made his behaviour questionable. In addition, his disinclination to get into any sort of conversation with his inn-keeper also lent an air of eccentricity to his personality. His curt and concise remarks to cut short Mrs. Hall‟s narration of the story of her sister‟s son‟s accident sounded equally strange. Hence, H G Wells has appropriately termed Mrs. Hall‟s guest as „a strange man‟.
 
Q2. Why did Mrs. Hall consider the stranger’s arrival in the ‘Coach and Horses’ as her ‘good fortune’?
 
Iping was a very small village which hardly ever saw any visitors during the winters. It was a very lean period for business. Mrs. Hall, the inn keeper of the „Coach and Horses‟, was therefore elated to have a guest at her inn. His arrival was a pleasant surprise. However, she quoted the peak season price for boarding and lodging because as a shrewd business woman she expected the man to haggle. Surprisingly, he agreed to her terms at once and placed a couple of sovereigns as advance. This was indeed Mrs. Hall‟s good fortune. But, apart from being a shrewd business woman, she was also conscientious and efficient. She did not let any expression of delight surface and proceeded to promptly to give her guest a perfect service and a very comfortable stay in her inn. She was keen to deliver full worth of the money that the stranger was spending. This episode reveals the lady‟s professionalism and her will to carry out the responsibility as a good hostess.
 
Q3. Describe the appearance of the stranger when he arrived at the inn.
 
Mrs. Hall was a very observant person. Hence, despite all her joy at getting a client for her inn during the winter season, none of the oddities of his appearance and behavior escaped her notice.When he appeared at the inn, Mrs. Hall found her guest all wrapped up from head to foot in his coat, hat, muffler and gloves. The brim of his soft hat hid his face considerably. Only his shiny, pink nose stood out conspicuously on his nondescript face. Later, when he removed his hat, she found his head bandaged all over. His thick black strands of hair showed themselves here and there lending him a very shabby and strange appearance. His big blue spectacles with sidelights completely concealed his eyes. Apart from his strange appearance, his behaviour was also eccentric. He refused to part with his wet clothes, talked to the lady from behind a table napkin, and displayed an utter reluctance to enter into any sort of conversation with her. Thus, she formed a very negative impression about the appearance and behaviour of the stranger.
 
Q4. Do you agree that Mrs. Hall had excellent hospitality skills?ORWhat did Mrs. Hall do to prove herself worthy of her good fortune?
 
Mrs. Hall was indeed happy to have a guest for her inn during the lean business period of winter time. She considered it to be a piece of unheard luck. On top of it, the guest who came to stay there did not haggle the peak season price quoted by her. Hence, the lady was very keen to prove that the good fortune‟s favour is not ill-placed. Therefore, she tried to make her guest very comfortable right from the beginning. Exhibiting her excellent hospitality skills, she first lit him a nice fire to relieve him of the biting cold of the wintry February. She then proceeded to prepare him a meal with her own hands. She offered to take away his wet clothes for drying, but when the gentleman refused to part with them, she didn‟t pester him.
Now and then, she ventured to enter into polite conversation with him but when he repeatedly showed reluctance, she felt a little snubbed. When the stranger expressed his eagerness to get his luggage from Bramblehurst station, she assured him that it would be done the next day. She also fulfilled promptly even his small requirements like matches to light his pipe. Thus, she proved herself worthy of her good fortune.
 
Chapter 2.Mr. Teddy Henfrey’s First Impressions
 
Summary:Teddy Henfrey, a clock repairman, comes to the inn for tea. Mrs. Hall asks him to “repair the clock” in the stranger‟s room. Teddy deliberately takes as long as he can with the clock, taking it apart and reassembling it for no reason. The stranger finally gets him to hurry up and leave. Offended, Teddy talks himself into believing that the stranger is someone of a suspicious nature, perhaps even wanted by the police and is wrapped up to conceal his identity.Teddy runs into Mr. Hall and warns him about the stranger, informing him that a “lot of luggage” will be coming. It would seem that the stranger intends to stay awhile. Mr. Hall goes home intending to investigate the stranger, but is put off by the short-tempered demeanour of his wife.
 
Notes:Mrs. Hall, although not a major character, is revealed as rather devious in a harmless sort of way. She really wants to know what the man‟s disfigurement is; she assumes he has been in a horrible accident, and the motherly side of her wants to know how to express sympathy. She is a very good innkeeper under the circumstances. While she is not above using Teddy to pry for information, she does not contribute to the spread of rumours. In fact, we are told later that she defends him as long as he is faithful about paying his bill. Teddy is a character typical of the other people of the town. He wants to know the man‟s story, and when he is rebuffed for his persistence, he begins to imagine all sorts of things. His imagination soon becomes fact to him, and he spreads his new knowledge to anyone who will listen.
 
Q1. How was Teddy Henfrey received at the inn by Mrs. Hall? How did the stranger respond to Teddy’s arrival in his room?
 
Teddy Henfrey was received gladly by Mrs. Hall when he visited her bar. She was all the more happy to see him carrying his tool bag. Actually, his arrival gave her the brilliant ideas of entering the guest‟s room on the pretext of getting the parlour clock repaired. However, when he visited the guest‟s room, he missed the warmth he had experienced earlier in the bar. After a cold„Good morning‟, the stranger silently stared at Teddy working at the clock. In an attempt to
break the silence of the room Teddy tried to get into some sort of conversation with him. But the guest snubbed him curtly. Rather he rebuked Teddy by prolonging the job that needed just fixing of the hour hand on the axle. Embarrassed by the snubbing, Henfrey finished the work quickly and left the room.
 
Q2. Why did Teddy Henfrey feel insulted after his encounter with the strange man? What did he do to relieve himself from his nasty mood on his way back from the inn?
 
Teddy Henfrey looked forward to meet the new guest of the Halls‟ when he entered the parlour to repair the clock. However, the strange man responded in a cold manner watching the clock- jobber constantly and never opening his mouth once. The stranger‟s constant gaze and absolute silence started getting on Henfrey‟s nerves. Still he tried to initiate a formal conversation by commenting on the biting cold weather. The stranger snubbed him at once and asked him to finish the job and leave the place. This set off a bad mood for Teddy Henfrey. He felt insulted. When he left the inn he came across Mr. Hall, the inn-keeper‟s husband. He gave vent to his nasty mood by sowing the seeds of suspicion in the mind of Hall that his wife had taken in a rum-looking customer. Describing the grotesque guest, Teddy expressed his apprehension about the stranger that he had disguised himself to escape something and also hoped that his luggage did not contain stones. By doing this, Teddy felt relieved.
 
Q3. What explanation did the stranger give Mrs Hall for coming to Iping and confining himself to a dark room?
 
On arrival, the stranger did not reveal either his name or his purpose of coming to Iping. Mrs. Hall took him in as it was a lean business period and she did not wish to lose a guest who paid the peak season price. However, his eccentricity did make her ill-at-ease. Later in the afternoon the stranger appeared relaxed and told Mrs. Hall that he was „an experimental investigator‟ and had come to Iping to carry out his work in peace and solitude. He also added that he needed to shut himself in a dark room for hours together because an accident had left his eyes very weak and painful. He justified his insistence on getting his luggage at the earliest as it carried his apparatus and appliances. His vehemence at safeguarding his privacy was explained by him as an attempt to save him from excruciating annoyance. Thus he gave a convincing explanation regarding his identity and the purpose of his visit to Iping to allay all doubts about him.
