KEMP’S VISITORlooking about him and trying to account for the bloodspot.On the landing he saw something and stopped astonished.The door-handle of his own room was bloodstained.He looked at his own hand. It was quite clean, andthen he remembered that the door of his room had beenopen when he came down from his study, and that consequentlyhe had not touched the handle at all. He wentstraight into his room, his face quite calm–perhaps a triflemore resolute than usual. His glance, wandering inquisitively,fell on the bed. On the counterpane was a messof blood, and the sheet had been torn. He had not noticedthis before because he had walked straight to thedressing-table. On the further side the bedclothes weredepressed as if someone had been recently sitting there.Then he had an odd impression that he had heard a lowvoice say, "Good Heavens!–Kemp!" But Dr. Kemp was nobeliever in voices.He stood staring at the tumbled sheets. Was that reallya voice? He looked about again, but noticed nothingfurther than the disordered and blood-stained bed.

tain some superstitious inklings. The feeling that is called
"eerie" came upon him. He closed the door of the room,
came forward to the dressing-table, and put down his
burdens. Suddenly, with a start, he perceived a coiled
and blood-stained bandage of linen rag hanging in midair,
between him and the wash-hand stand.
He stared at this in amazement. It was an empty bandage,
a bandage properly tied but quite empty. He would
have advanced to grasp it, but a touch arrested him, and
a voice speaking quite close to him.
"Kemp!" said the Voice.
"Eh?" said Kemp, with his mouth open.

Kemp made no answer for a space, simply stared at the
bandage. "Invisible Man," he said.
"I am an Invisible Man," repeated the Voice.
The story he had been active to ridicule only that morning
rushed through Kemp’s brain. He does not appear
to have been either very much frightened or very greatly
surprised at the moment. Realisation came later.
