The stranger came early in February, through a biting wind and a driving snow, into the Coach and Horses at Iping. He is wrapped up from head to foot. The brim hides every inch of his face but the shiny tip of his nose.

Questions this course answers
How does The Invisible Man actually begin?
Chapter 1: early February, driving snow, Bramblehurst station, Coach and Horses, Mrs Hall, two sovereigns. The science confession is Chapters 19–20.
What does Constable Jaffers mean by saying the warrant says body?
Chapter 7. The charge is the vicarage burglary. Jaffers: 'ed or no 'ed, the warrant says body, and duty's duty. Invisibility is not a defence to a Sussex arrest.
What is Griffin's actual optical claim?
Chapter 19. Glass in water, then powdered glass, then the same powder matched to air. Visibility is reflection, refraction, absorption. Remove those, and a body need not be seen.
What does Griffin say happened after he took money from his father?
End of Chapter 19, in Griffin's voice: I robbed the old man — robbed my father. The money was not his, and he shot himself. Chapter 20 is the funeral he does not mourn.
Why does Griffin need Thomas Marvel?
Chapter 9, then 24: Griffin was using the tramp as a money box and luggage carrier. An invisible man cannot walk into a shop dressed, or leave three books in a pocket of air.
What does Griffin mean by a Reign of Terror?
Chapter 24. He says the words twice. Scraps of paper under doors would suffice as orders. Kemp has already written to Adye.
