CHAPTER XVI. IN THE ”JOLLY CRICKETERS”"Here you are," said the barman. "Come in here." Andhe held up the flap of the bar.Mr. Marvel rushed behind the bar as the summons outsidewas repeated. "Don’t open the door," he screamed."Please don’t open the door. Where shall I hide?""This, this Invisible Man, then?" asked the man withthe black beard, with one hand behind him. "I guess it’sabout time we saw him."The window of the inn was suddenly smashed in, andthere was a screaming and running to and fro in the street.The policeman had been standing on the settee staringout, craning to see who was at the door. He got downwith raised eyebrows. "It’s that," he said. The barmanstood in front of the bar-parlour door which was nowlocked on Mr. Marvel, stared at the smashed window,and came round to the two other men.Everything was suddenly quiet. "I wish I had my truncheon,"said the policeman, going irresolutely to the door."Once we open, in he comes. There’s no stopping him.""Don’t you be in too much hurry about that door," saidthe anaemic cabman, anxiously."Draw the bolts," said the man with the black beard,"and if he comes–" He showed a revolver in his hand.130

Barman,cabman, and policeman faced about."Come in," said the bearded man in an undertone,standing back and facing the unbolted doors with hispistol behind him. No one came in, the door remainedclosed. Five minutes afterwards when a second cabmanpushed his head in cautiously, they were still waiting, andan anxious face peered out of the bar-parlour and suppliedinformation. "Are all the doors of the house shut?"asked Marvel. "He’s going round–prowling round. He’sas artful as the devil.""Good Lord!" said the burly barman. "There’s the back!Just watch them doors! I say–!" He looked about himhelplessly. The bar-parlour door slammed and they heardthe key turn. "There’s the yard door and the private door.The yard door–"131
