The invisible man was Griffin. He had made himself invisible, but mud stuck to his bare feet and left fresh footprints on the steps and road. So the boys could see his footprints, though not the man himself.

5What other extraordinary things happen at the inn?Show solution
Several extraordinary things happened at the inn. Mrs Hall’s chair and hat moved by themselves, as if the room were haunted.

Think about it

1“Griffin was rather a lawless person.” Comment.
2How would you assess Griffin as a scientist?

Talk about it

1Would you like to become invisible? What advantages and disadvantages do you foresee, if you did?
2Are there forces around us that are invisible, for example, magnetism? Are there aspects of matter that are ‘invisible’ or not visible to the naked eye? What would the world be like if you could see such forces or such aspects of matter?
3What makes glass or water transparent (what is the scientific explanation for this)? Do you think it would be scientifically possible for a man to become invisible, or transparent? (Keep in mind that writers of science fiction have often turned out to be prophetic in their imagination!)
