CHAPTER XVIII. THE INVISIBLE MAN SLEEPS

Kemp read every scrap of the report and sent his

housemaid out to get everyone of the morning papers she

could. These also he devoured.

"He is invisible!" he said. "And it reads like rage growing

to mania! The things he may do! The things he may

do! And he’s upstairs free as the air. What on earth ought

"For instance, would it be a breach of faith if–? No."

He went to a little untidy desk in the corner, and began

a note. He tore this up half written, and wrote another.

He read it over and considered it. Then he took an envelope

and addressed it to "Colonel Adye, Port Burdock."

The Invisible Man awoke even as Kemp was doing this.

He awoke in an evil temper, and Kemp, alert for every

sound, heard his pattering feet rush suddenly across the

bedroom overhead. Then a chair was flung over and the

wash-hand stand tumbler smashed. Kemp hurried upstairs

and rapped eagerly.
