What to Focus On

  • H. G. Wells wrote science fiction and used new ideas in stories.
  • The story mixes science with humour and suspense.
  • The title refers to a stolen tube containing bacteria.

  • The Bacteriologist studies disease bacteria.
  • Minnie is sensible and alert to her husband’s unusual behaviour.
  • The pale-faced man is really an anarchist.

  • The story has a clear beginning, rising action, climax, and twist ending.
  • The visitor steals what he thinks is cholera.
  • The tube breaks by accident, not by design.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The tube stolen by the Anarchist contains cholera bacteria and really can spread cholera in London.

The first microscope sample shown is the same as the living tube stolen later.

The pale-faced visitor is only a curious science lover, not an Anarchist.

Memory Tips

The Bacteriologist shows a dead cholera sample first

The living disease bacteria are kept in sealed tubes

The visitor is really an Anarchist

The Anarchist admires bacteria because they can cause huge harm
