Everything is going wrong, the invisible Man said. Everybody will try to find me. What can I do?
I can’t help you, saidMr. Marvel “I think…”
“shut up ,or I’ll hit you again. You’ll do as I tell .You’re an idiot, but you can help me “
At ten o’clock the next morning, Mr. Marvel sat in front of a little hotel outside a small town. The books were next to him on the step. He was very nervous.
After some time ,a man with a newspaper in his hand sat down next to Mr. Marvel and started to talk to him. He was curiousabout this dirty little vagabond who had three big books. The man pointed to the books.

He told Mr. Marvel about the report of the Invisible Man in the newspaper.
Does the newspaper say if he has friends? Asked Mr. Marvel anxiously.
“No” answered the man.”One invisible man is sufficient! All the time that theyspoke, Mr. Marvel looked around anxiously, listening for noises, trying to see any movements.
Finally , he said in a very quiet voice “The fact is –I know things about this Invisible Man. He…..”

Nothing replied Mr. Marvel. He took the books from the step.”I must go ,” he said.
