CHAPTER XI. IN THE ”COACH AND HORSES” "I’ll find you a place." "I’d rather glance through the volumes first," said Mr. Bunting, still wiping. "A general impression first, Cuss, and then, you know, we can go looking for clues." He coughed, put on his glasses, arranged them fastidiously, coughed again, and wished something would happen to avert the seemingly inevitable exposure. Then he took the volume Cuss handed him in a leisurely manner. And then something did happen. The door opened suddenly. Both gentlemen started violently, looked round, and were relieved to see a sporadically rosy face beneath a furry silk hat. "Tap?" asked the face, and stood staring. "No," said both gentlemen at once. "Over the other side, my man," said Mr. Bunting. And "Please shut that door," said Mr. Cuss, irritably. "All right," said the intruder, as it seemed in a low voice curiously different from the huskiness of its first inquiry. "Right you are," said the intruder in the former voice.

"There certainly have been very strange things happen in Iping during the last few days– very strange. I cannot of course believe in this absurd invisibility story–" "It’s incredible," said Cuss–"incredible. But the fact remains that I saw–I certainly saw right down his sleeve–" "But did you–are you sure? Suppose a mirror, for instance– hallucinations are so easily produced. I don’t know if you have ever seen a really good conjuror–" "I won’t argue again," said Cuss. "We’ve thrashed that out, Bunting. And just now there’s these books–Ah! here’s some of what I take to be Greek! Greek letters certainly." 95
