CHAPTER XVIII. THE INVISIBLE MAN SLEEPS EXHAUSTED and wounded as the Invisible Man was, he refused to accept Kemp’s word that his freedom should be respected. He examined the two windows of the bedroom, drew up the blinds and opened the sashes, to confirm Kemp’s statement that a retreat by them would be possible. Outside the night was very quiet and still, and the new moon was setting over the down. Then he examined the keys of the bedroom and the two dressingroom doors, to satisfy himself that these also could be made an assurance of freedom. Finally he expressed himself satisfied.

CHAPTER XVIII. THE INVISIBLE MAN SLEEPS the sound of a yawn. "I’m sorry," said the Invisible Man, "if I cannot tell you all that I have done to-night. But I am worn out. It’s grotesque, no doubt. It’s horrible! But believe me, Kemp, in spite of your arguments of this morning, it is quite a possible thing. I have made a discovery. I meant to keep it to myself. I can’t. I must have a partner.

Is there anything more that I can get you?" "Only bid me good-night," said Griffin. "Good-night," said Kemp, and shook an invisible hand. He walked sideways to the door. Suddenly the dressinggown walked quickly towards him. "Understand me!" said the dressing-gown. "No attempts to hamper me, or capture me! Or–" Kemp’s face changed a little. "I thought I gave you my word," he said. 151
