CHAPTER XV. THE MAN WHOWAS RUNNINGIN the early evening time Dr. Kemp was sitting in hisstudy in the belvedere on the hill overlooking Burdock.It was a pleasant little room, with three windows–north, west, and south–and bookshelves covered withbooks and scientific publications, and a broad writingtable,and, under the north window, a microscope, glassslips, minute instruments, some cultures, and scatteredbottles of reagents. Dr. Kemp’s solar lamp was lit, albeitthe sky was still bright with the sunset light, and hisblinds were up because there was no offence of peeringoutsiders to require them pulled down.

He was a shortish little man, and he wore a high hat,and he was running so fast that his legs verily twinkled."Another of those fools," said Dr. Kemp. "Like that asswho ran into me this morning round a corner, with the”Visible Man a-coming, sir!’ I can’t imagine what possesspeople. One might think we were in the thirteenth century."He got up, went to the window, and stared at the duskyhillside, and the dark little figure tearing down it. "Heseems in a confounded hurry," said Dr. Kemp, "but hedoesn’t seem to be getting on. If his pockets were full oflead, he couldn’t run heavier.""Spurted, sir," said Dr. Kemp.125

CHAPTER XV. THE MAN WHO WAS RUNNING
tall and slender young man, with flaxen hair and a moustache
almost white, and the work he was upon would
earn him, he hoped, the fellowship of the Royal Society,
so highly did he think of it.
And his eye, presently wandering from his work,
caught the sunset blazing at the back of the hill that is
over against his own. For a minute perhaps he sat, pen in
mouth, admiring the rich golden colour above the crest,
and then his attention was attracted by the little figure
of a man, inky black, running over the hill-brow towards
him. He was a shortish little man, and he wore a high hat,
and he was running so fast that his legs verily twinkled.
"Another of those fools," said Dr. Kemp. "Like that ass
who ran into me this morning round a corner, with the
”Visible Man a-coming, sir!’ I can’t imagine what possess
people. One might think we were in the thirteenth century."
He got up, went to the window, and stared at the dusky
hillside, and the dark little figure tearing down it. "He
seems in a confounded hurry," said Dr. Kemp, "but he
doesn’t seem to be getting on. If his pockets were full of
lead, he couldn’t run heavier."
"Spurted, sir," said Dr. Kemp.
