Here
,
stop
that
,
"
said
Jaffers
,
suddenly
realising
what
was
happening
.
He
gripped
at
the
waistcoat
;
it
struggled
,
and
the
shirt
slipped
out
of
it
and
left
it
limp
and
empty
in
his
hand
.
"
Hold
him
!
"
said
Jaffers
,
loudly
.
"
Once
he
gets
the
things
off
--
"
"
Hold
him
!
"
cried
everyone
,
and
there
was
a
rush
at
the
fluttering
white
shirt
which
was
now
all
that
was
visible
of
the
stranger
.
The
shirt-sleeve
planted
a
shrewd
blow
in
Hall
's
face
that
stopped
his
open-armed
advance
,
and
sent
him
backward
into
old
Toothsome
the
sexton
,
and
in
another
moment
the
garment
was
lifted
up
and
became
convulsed
and
vacantly
flapping
about
the
arms
,
even
as
a
shirt
that
is
being
thrust
over
a
man
's
head
.
Jaffers
clutched
at
it
,
and
only
helped
to
pull
it
off
;
he
was
struck
in
the
mouth
out
of
the
air
,
and
incontinently
threw
his
truncheon
and
smote
Teddy
Henfrey
savagely
upon
the
crown
of
his
head
.
"
Look
out
!
"
said
everybody
,
fencing
at
random
and
hitting
at
nothing
.
"
Hold
him
!
Shut
the
door
!
Do
n't
let
him
loose
!
I
got
something
!
Here
he
is
!
"
A
perfect
Babel
of
noises
they
made
.
Everybody
,
it
seemed
,
was
being
hit
all
at
once
,
and
Sandy
Wadgers
,
knowing
as
ever
and
his
wits
sharpened
by
a
frightful
blow
in
the
nose
,
reopened
the
door
and
led
the
rout
.
The
others
,
following
incontinently
,
were
jammed
for
a
moment
in
the
corner
by
the
doorway
.
The
hitting
continued
.
Phipps
,
the
Unitarian
,
had
a
front
tooth
broken
,
and
Henfrey
was
injured
in
the
cartilage
of
his
ear
.
Jaffers
was
struck
under
the
jaw
,
and
,
turning
,
caught
at
something
that
intervened
between
him
and
Huxter
in
the
mêlée
,
and
prevented
their
coming
together
.
He
felt
a
muscular
chest
,
and
in
another
moment
the
whole
mass
of
struggling
,
excited
men
shot
out
into
the
crowded
hall
.
"
I
got
him
!
"
shouted
Jaffers
,
choking
and
reeling
through
them
all
,
and
wrestling
with
purple
face
and
swelling
veins
against
his
unseen
enemy
.
Men
staggered
right
and
left
as
the
extraordinary
conflict
swayed
swiftly
towards
the
house
door
,
and
went
spinning
down
the
half-dozen
steps
of
the
inn
.
Jaffers
cried
in
a
strangled
voice
--
holding
tight
,
nevertheless
,
and
making
play
with
his
knee
--
spun
around
,
and
fell
heavily
undermost
with
his
head
on
the
gravel
.
Only
then
did
his
fingers
relax
.
There
were
excited
cries
of
"
Hold
him
!
"
"
Invisible
!
"
and
so
forth
,
and
a
young
fellow
,
a
stranger
in
the
place
whose
name
did
not
come
to
light
,
rushed
in
at
once
,
caught
something
,
missed
his
hold
,
and
fell
over
the
constable
's
prostrate
body
.
Half-way
across
the
road
a
woman
screamed
as
something
pushed
by
her
;
a
dog
,
kicked
apparently
,
yelped
and
ran
howling
into
Huxter
's
yard
,
and
with
that
the
transit
of
the
Invisible
Man
was
accomplished
.
For
a
space
people
stood
amazed
and
gesticulating
,
and
then
came
panic
,
and
scattered
them
abroad
through
the
village
as
a
gust
scatters
dead
leaves
.
But
Jaffers
lay
quite
still
,
face
upward
and
knees
bent
,
at
the
foot
of
the
steps
of
the
inn
.
The
eighth
chapter
is
exceedingly
brief
,
and
relates
that
Gibbons
,
the
amateur
naturalist
of
the
district
,
while
lying
out
on
the
spacious
open
downs
without
a
soul
within
a
couple
of
miles
of
him
,
as
he
thought
,
and
almost
dozing
,
heard
close
to
him
the
sound
as
of
a
man
coughing
,
sneezing
,
and
then
swearing
savagely
to
himself
;
and
looking
,
beheld
nothing
.
Yet
the
voice
was
indisputable
.
It
continued
to
swear
with
that
breadth
and
variety
that
distinguishes
the
swearing
of
a
cultivated
man
.
It
grew
to
a
climax
,
diminished
again
,
and
died
away
in
the
distance
,
going
as
it
seemed
to
him
in
the
direction
of
Adderdean
.
It
lifted
to
a
spasmodic
sneeze
and
ended
.
Gibbons
had
heard
nothing
of
the
morning
's
occurrences
,
but
the
phenomenon
was
so
striking
and
disturbing
that
his
philosophical
tranquillity
vanished
;
he
got
up
hastily
,
and
hurried
down
the
steepness
of
the
hill
towards
the
village
,
as
fast
as
he
could
go
.
You
must
picture
Mr.
Thomas
Marvel
as
a
person
of
copious
,
flexible
visage
,
a
nose
of
cylindrical
protrusion
,
a
liquorish
,
ample
,
fluctuating
mouth
,
and
a
beard
of
bristling
eccentricity
.
His
figure
inclined
to
embonpoint
;
his
short
limbs
accentuated
this
inclination
.
He
wore
a
furry
silk
hat
,
and
the
frequent
substitution
of
twine
and
shoe-laces
for
buttons
,
apparent
at
critical
points
of
his
costume
,
marked
a
man
essentially
bachelor
.
