CHAPTER XVII. DR. KEMP’S VISITORThe tumbler of whiskey tilted itself. "Yes," said theInvisible Man rapping it down. "Have you a dressinggown?"Kemp made some exclamation in an undertone. Hewalked to a wardrobe and produced a robe of dingy scarlet."This do?" he asked. It was taken from him. It hunglimp for a moment in mid-air, fluttered weirdly, stood fulland decorous buttoning itself, and sat down in his chair."Drawers, socks, slippers would be a comfort," said theUnseen, curtly. "And food.""Anything. But this is the insanest thing I ever was in,in my life!"He turned out his drawers for the articles, and thenwent downstairs to ransack his larder. He came back withsome cold cutlets and bread, pulled up a light table, andplaced them before his guest. "Never mind knives," saidhis visitor, and a cutlet hung in mid-air, with a sound ofgnawing."Invisible!" said Kemp, and sat down on a bedroomchair."I always like to get something about me before I eat,"said the Invisible Man, with a full mouth, eating greedily."Queer fancy!"144

It’s a filthy nuisance, my blood showing, isn’t it?Quite a clot over there. Gets visible as it coagulates, I see.It’s only the living tissue I’ve changed, and only for aslong as I’m alive.... I’ve been in the house three hours.""But how’s it done?" began Kemp, in a tone of exasperation."Confound it! The whole business–it’s unreasonablefrom beginning to end.""Quite reasonable," said the Invisible Man. "Perfectlyreasonable."He reached over and secured the whiskey bottle. Kempstared at the devouring dressing gown. A ray of candlelightpenetrating a torn patch in the right shoulder, madea triangle of light under the left ribs. "What were theshots?" he asked. "How did the shooting begin?""There was a real fool of a man–a sort of confederate ofmine–curse him!–who tried to steal my money. Has doneso."145

CHAPTER XVII. DR. KEMP’S VISITOR
"I suppose that wrist is all right," said Kemp.
"Trust me," said the Invisible Man.
"Of all the strange and wonderful–"
"Exactly. But it’s odd I should blunder into your house
to get my bandaging. My first stroke of luck! Anyhow
I meant to sleep in this house to-night. You must stand
that! It’s a filthy nuisance, my blood showing, isn’t it?
Quite a clot over there. Gets visible as it coagulates, I see.
It’s only the living tissue I’ve changed, and only for as
long as I’m alive.... I’ve been in the house three hours."
"But how’s it done?" began Kemp, in a tone of exasperation.
"Confound it! The whole business–it’s unreasonable
from beginning to end."
"Quite reasonable," said the Invisible Man. "Perfectly
reasonable."
He reached over and secured the whiskey bottle. Kemp
stared at the devouring dressing gown. A ray of candlelight
penetrating a torn patch in the right shoulder, made
a triangle of light under the left ribs. "What were the
shots?" he asked. "How did the shooting begin?"
"There was a real fool of a man–a sort of confederate of
mine–curse him!–who tried to steal my money. Has done
so."
