The sounds within indistinct and perplexing."Sounds like throwing the table-cloth about," said Hall.Mrs. Hall appeared behind the bar. Hall made gesturesof silence and invitation.

CHAPTER XII. THE INVISIBLE MAN LOSES HISTEMPERHall tried to convey everything by grimaces and dumbshow, but Mrs. Hall was obdurate. She raised her voice.So Hall and Henfrey, rather crestfallen, tiptoed back tothe bar, gesticulating to explain to her.At first she refused to see anything in what they hadheard at all. Then she insisted on Hall keeping silence,while Henfrey told her his story. She was inclined tothink the whole business nonsense–perhaps they werejust moving the furniture about. "I heerd’n say ’disgraceful’;that I did," said Hall."I heerd that, Mrs. Hall," said Henfrey."Like as not–" began Mrs. Hall."Hsh!" said Mr. Teddy Henfrey. "Didn’t I hear the window?""What window?" asked Mrs. Hall."Parlour window," said Henfrey.Everyone stood listening intently. Mrs. Hall’s eyes, directedstraight before her, saw without seeing the brilliantoblong of the inn door, the road white and vivid, andHuxter’s shop-front blistering in the June sun. AbruptlyHuxter’s door opened and Huxter appeared, eyes staringwith excitement, arms gesticulating. "Yap!" cried Huxter.101
