Preface to this guide book:
'The Invisible Man' is a science fiction but with a deep message and its message is universal. The scientific discovery, and for that matter any discovery, must not be allowed to develop without social and ethical control and whenever it is not adhered to, mankind undergoes pangs and throngs, trials and tribulations and excruciating pains. Every writer becomes a preacher in one way or the other, an ideologist, so to say. H.G. Wells is also not an exception.
The present book is designed to cater to the needs of the students and give them a peep into the novel in a comprehensive way. Sincere efforts are made to touch different strains, visible and invisible.
Chapter wise [chapterwise] summaries, in a tangible language, will definitely urge the students and general readers to delve deep into the book. Questions and answers having different shades will certainly help students to have an in-depth understanding of the text and answer any question. All the answered questions certainly satiate the requirements of the latest CBSE syllabus. Nothing of any importance from the examination point of view has been left unturned.
Suggestions to add to the usefulness of this book are welcome and will be highly appreciated.*

I have painstakingly located and typed the above important pages of this guide book to help all readers of THE INVISIBLE MAN, which is one of the world's most important books along with THE BOOK THAT SAVED THE EARTH [= God] by Claire Boiko/K. A. Abbas [Khwaja Ahmad Abbas] [it is obvious to Me that all author names are fake pen names] etc.
The comical illustrative sketches throughout this guide book seem rather inappropriate to the gravity and seriousness of theme of this very important and serious science fiction thriller.

The Siege of Kemp's House
Kemp [Kr.] read a strange missive [= letter].
"You have been amazingly energetic and clever," this letter ran, "though what you stand to gain by it I cannot imagine. You are against me. For a whole day you have chased me; you have tried to rob me of a night's rest. But I have had food in spite of you, I have slept in spite of you, and the game is only beginning. The game is only beginning. There is nothing for it, but to start the Terror. This announces the first day of the Terror. Port Burdock is no longer under the Queen, tell your Colonel of Police [Adye/Adam/WF], and the rest of them; it is under me [Me] - the Terror! This is day one of year one of the new epoch [age] - the Epoch of the Invisible Man. I am Invisible Man the First. To begin with the rule will be easy. The first day there will be one execution for the sake of example - a man named Kemp [Kr.]. Death starts for him to-day. He may lock himself away, hide himself away, get guards about him, put on armour if he likes - Death, the unseen Death, is coming. Let him take precautions; it will impress my people. Death starts by midday. The game begins. Death starts. Help him not, my people, lest Death fall upon you also. To-day Kemp is to die."
Kemp [Kr.] read this letter twice. "It's no hoax," he said. "That's his voice! And he means it."
He got up slowly, leaving his lunch unfinished - the letter had come by the one o'clock post - and went into his study. He rang for his housekeeper, and told her to go round the house at once, examine all the fastenings of the windows, and close all the shutters. He closed the shutters of his study himself. From a locked drawer in his bedroom he took a little revolver, examined it carefully, and put it into the pocket of his jacket. He wrote a number of brief notes, one to Colonel Adye [Adam/WF] [one to Mr. Griffin, the Invisible Man], gave them to his servant to take, with explicit instructions as to her way of leaving the house. "There is no danger," he said, and added a [silent] mental reservation, "to you." He remained meditative for a space after doing this, and then returned to his cooling lunch.
He ate with gaps of thought. Finally he struck the table sharply. "We will have him!" he said; "and I am the bait. He will come too far."
He went up, carefully shutting every door after him. "It's a game," he said, "an odd game - but the chances are all for me, Mr. Griffin, in spite of your invisibility."
He stood at the window staring at the hot hillside.
"He may be watching me now."
He went close to the window. Something rapped smartly against the brickwork over the frame, and made him start violently back.
"I'm getting nervous," said Kemp...it was five minutes before he went to the window again.
Presently he heard the front-door bell ringing, and hurried downstairs. He unbolted and unlocked the door, examined the chain, put it up, and opened cautiously without showing himself. A familiar voice hailed him. It was Adye.
"Your servant's been assaulted [attacked], Kemp," he said round the door.
"What!" exclaimed Kemp.
"Had that note of yours taken away from her. He's close about here. Let me in."
Kemp released the chain, and Adye entered through as narrow an opening as possible. He stood in the hall, looking with infinite relief at Kemp refastening the door. "Note was snatched out of her hand. Scared her horribly. She's down at the station [police station]. Hysterics. He's close here. What was it about?"
Kemp swore.
"What a fool I was," said Kemp. "I might have known."
"What's up?" said Adye.
"Look here!" said Kemp, and led the way into his study. He handed Adye the Invisible Man's letter. Adye read it and whistled softly. "And you - ?" said Adye.
"Proposed a trap - like a fool," said Kemp, "and sent my proposal out by a maid servant. To him."
Adye followed Kemp's profanity.
A resounding smash of glass came from upstairs. Adye had a silvery glimpse of a revolver half out of Kemp's pocket. "It's a window, upstairs!" said Kemp, and led the way up. There came a second smash while they were still on the staircase.
When they reached the study they found two of the three windows smashed, half the room littered with splintered glass, and one big flint lying on the writing table. The two men stopped in the doorway, contemplating the wreckage.
Kemp swore again, and as he did so the third window went with a snap like a pistol, hung for a moment, and collapsed in jagged triangles into the room.
"What's this for?" said Adye.
"It's a beginning," said Kemp. "Hullo!"
Smash, and then whack of boards hit hard came from downstairs. "Confound him!" said Kemp. "That must be - yes - it's one of the bedrooms. He's going to do all the house. But he's a fool. The shutters are up, and the glass will fall outside. He'll cut his feet."
Another window proclaimed its destruction. The two men stood on the landing perplexed. "I have it!" said Adye. "Let me have a stick or something, and I'll go down to the station [police station] and get the bloodhounds put on. That ought to settle him! They're hard by - not ten minutes - '
Another window went the way of its fellows.
(pp. 230-233)
***
"You haven't a revolver?" asked Adye [Adam/WF].
Kemp's [Kr.] hand went to his pocket.
"I'll bring it back," said Adye, "you'll be safe here."
Kemp [Kr.] handed him the weapon.
"Now for the door," said Adye [Adam/WF].
Kemp [Kr.] went to the door and began to slip the bolts as silently as possible. In another moment Adye was on the doorstep and the bolts were dropping back into the staples. Then he marched, upright and square, down the steps. He crossed the lawn and approached the gate. Something moved near him. "Stop a bit," said a Voice, and Adye stopped dead and his hand tightened on the revolver.
"Well?" said Adye, white and grim, and every nerve tense.
"Oblige me by going back to the house," said the Voice.
"Sorry," said Adye a little hoarsely, and moistened his lips with his tongue. The Voice was on his left front, he thought. Suppose he were to take his luck with a shot?
"What are you going for?" said the Voice, and a quick movement of the two, and a flash of sunlight from the open lip of Adye's pocket.
Adye desisted and thought.
"Where I go," he said slowly, "is my own business." The words were still on his lips, when an arm came round his neck, his back felt a knee, and he was sprawling backward. He drew clumsily and fired absurdly, and in another moment he was struck in the mouth and the revolver wrested from his grip. He made a vain clutch at a slippery limb, tried to struggle up and fell back. "Damn!" said Adye. The Voice laughed. "I'd kill you now if it wasn't the waste of a bullet," it [IT] said. He saw the revolver in mid-air, six feet off, covering him.
"Well?" said Adye, sitting up.
"Get up," said the Voice.
Adye stood up.
"Attention," said the Voice, and then fiercely, "Don't try any games. Remember I can see your face if you can't see mine. You've got to go back to the house."
"He won't let me in," said Adye.
"That's a pity," said the Invisible Man. "I've got no quarrel with you."
Adye moistened his lips again. He glanced away from the barrel of the revolver and saw the sea far off very blue and dark under the midday sun, the white cliff, and the multitudinous [diverse] town, and suddenly he knew that life was very sweet. His eyes came back to this little metal thing hanging between heaven and earth, six yards away [eighteen feet away]. "What am I to do?" he asked sullenly.
"What am I to do?" asked the Invisible Man. "You will get help. The only thing is for you to go back."
"I will try. If he lets me in will you promise not to rush the door?"
"I've got no quarrel with you," said the Voice.
Kemp had hurried upstairs after letting Adye out, and now crouching among the broken glass and peering cautiously over the edge of the study window sill, he saw Adye stand parleying with the Unseen. "Why doesn't he fire?" whispered Kemp to himself. Then the revolver moved a little and the glint of the sunlight flashed in Kemp's eyes. He shaded his eyes and tried to see the source of the blinding beam.
"Surely!" he said, "Adye has given up the revolver."
"Promise not to rush the door," Adye was saying. "Don't push a winning game too far. Give a man a chance."
"You go back to the house. I tell you flatly I will not promise anything."
Adye's decision seemed suddenly made. He turned towards the house, walking slowly with his hands behind him. Kemp watched him - puzzled. The revolver vanished, flashed again into light, vanished again, and became evident on a closer scrutiny as a little dark object following Adye. Then things happened very quickly. Adye leapt backwards, swung around, clutched at this little object, missed it, threw up his hands and fell forward on his face, leaving a little puff of blue in the air. Kemp did not hear the sound of the shot. Adye writhed, raised himself on one arm, fell forward, and lay still.
For a space [for some time] Kemp remained staring at the quiet carelessness of Adye's attitude. The afternoon was very hot and still, nothing seemed stirring in all the world save [except] a couple of [two] yellow butterflies chasing each other between the house and the road gate. Adye lay on the lawn near the gate, a white figure, apparently an old man asleep. Kemp scrutinised the surroundings of the house for a glimpse of the revolver, but it had vanished. His eyes came back to Adye. The game was opening well.
Then came a ringing and knocking at the front door, that grew at last tumultuous [noisy], but pursuant to [in accordance with] Kemp's instructions the servants had locked themselves into their rooms. This was followed by a silence. Kemp sat listening and then began peering cautiously out of the three windows, one after another. He went to the staircase head and stood listening uneasily. He armed himself with his bedroom poker, and went to examine the fastenings of the ground-floor windows again. Everything was safe and quiet.
Adye lay motionless just as he had fallen. Coming along the road were the housemaid and two policemen.
Everything was deadly still. The three people seemed very slow in approaching. He wondered what his antagonist was doing.
He started. There was a smash from below. He hesitated and went downstairs again. Suddenly the house resounded with heavy blows and the splintering of wood. He heard a smash and the destructive clang of the iron fastenings of the shutters. He turned the key and opened the kitchen door. As he did so, the shutters, split and splintering, came flying inward.
He stood aghast. The window frame was still intact but only little teeth of glass remained in the frame. The shutters had been driven in with an axe, and now the axe was descending in sweeping blows upon the window frame and the iron bars defending it. Then suddenly it leapt aside and vanished. He saw the revolver lying on the path outside, and then the little weapon sprang into the air. He dodged back. The revolver cracked just too late, and a splinter from the edge of the closing door flashed over his head. He slammed and locked the door, and as he stood outside he heard Griffin shouting and laughing. Then the blows of the axe with its splitting and smashing consequences, were resumed.
Kemp stood in the passage trying to think. In a moment the Invisible Man would be in the kitchen. This door would not keep him a moment, and then -
A ringing came at the front door again. It would be the policemen. He ran into the hall, put up the chain, and drew the bolts. He made the girl speak before he dropped the chain, and the three people blundered into the house in a heap, and Kemp slammed the door again.
"The Invisible Man!" said Kemp. "He has a revolver, with two shots - left. He's killed Adye. Shot him anyhow. Didn't you see him on the lawn? He's lying there."
"Who?" said one of the policemen.
"Adye," said Kemp.
"We came in the back way," said the girl.
"What's that smashing?" asked one of the policemen.
"He's in the kitchen - or will be. He has found an axe - "
Suddenly the house was full of the Invisible Man's resounding blows on the kitchen door. The girl stared towards the kitchen, shuddered, and retreated into the dining-room. They heard the kitchen door give.
"This way," said Kemp, starting into activity, and bundled the policemen into the dining-room doorway.
"Poker," said Kemp. He handed the poker he had carried to the policeman and the dining-room one to the other. He suddenly flung himself backward.
"Whip!" said one policeman, ducked, and caught the axe on his poker.
The axe receded into the passage, and fell to a position about two feet from the ground. They could hear the Invisible Man breathing. "Stand away, you two," he said. "I want that man Kemp."

THE SECRET AGENT
Although Winnie is [was?] married to Verloc, she [Winnie] considers Stevie as her suitor. She [Winnie] describes him [Stevie] as a "young man by her side." She [Winnie] experiences the "salt of passion" in her "tasteless life."
Not only Vladimir, the readers too, are surprised to find out about the marriage of Verloc.
Verloc is considered a father [father/father-in-law?] by Winnie and her mother.
London city is seen as a pornographic city through the eyes of Stevie. Verloc's activities also prove to be pornographic.
Many young men and women come in and out and they are ashamed when Winnie serves them.
H.G. Wells is known for bringing Science into every household of England. It looks as though [Joseph] Conrad has dedicated 'The Secret Agent' to him. His [?] renowned books like 'The Time Machine,' 'War of the Worlds' and 'The Invisible Man' were of great prophetic quality and introduced a new era of science fiction. Wells and Conrad became friendly while Conrad was writing reviews for Well's [Wells's] novels 'The Invisible Man' and 'War of the Worlds'. But this friendship almost withered away by the time Conrad wrote 'The Secret Agent'. Conrad's hostility is visible in an ironical way towards Well [Wells], even though the novel [THE SECRET AGENT] has been dedicated to him [H.G. Wells].
Every novel of [Joseph] Conrad had a highlighted place like Patna (Lord Jim [James]), Congo (Heart of Darkness), Republic of Costaguana (Nostromo; cf. notorious astrologer Michael Nostradamus). His father, Apollo, was a famous [notorious?] political activist. Conrad's mother, Ewa [Eve]...
