NOVEL-The Invisible Man CH17 Dr Kemp's Visitor (Important Question Answers)

CH17 DR. KEMP VISITOR

IMPORTANT QUESTION ANSWER

Question 1: Describe the meeting of the invisible man with Dr. Kemp in Kemp’s bedroom.

Answer: Dr. Kemp heard a voice of a man — “Good Heavens! – Kemp!” The voice asked Kemp to control his nerve, and not to panic. The voice introduced itself as an invisible man. To confirm the presence, Dr. Kemp stepped forward and his hand extended towards the bandage, met invisible fingers and recoiled in fear. The hand gripped his arm and struck at it. The invisible  man told kemp that he knew from him school  - he is a really a guy named Griffin, almost an albino. He was a little younger than kemp, and he won a medal for chemistry at university college. Kemp calms down enough to give Griffin some whiskey, clothes and a cigar. It was just a coincidence that Griffin broke into Kemp's house to recover, but now he needs Kemp's help because his partner, Marvel had stolen his money.

Question 2:

What unusual things did Dr. Kemp observe in his house when he came out of his study?

Answer: Dr. Kemp, feeling thirsty, took a candle and went down to the dinning room. As he crossed the hall, he noticed a dark spot on the floor covering near the mat at the foot of the stairs. He touched the spot and found it sticky with the colour of dried blood. Returning upstairs he noticed the door-handle of his own room was blood-stained. He found a mess of blood on his bed also. On the furtherside the bed clothes were depressed as if someone had been recently sitting there. Then he distinctly heard a movement across the room, near the wash-hand stand. Suddenly he saw a coiled and blood stained bandage of linen rag hanging in mid-air, between him and the wash-hand stand. It was a bandage properly tied but quite empty.
