QUESTION
PAPER
for
Section
One
The
Invisible
Man,
by
H.
G.
Wells
"Before
I
take
any
bills
or
get
any
breakfasts,”
said
Mrs.
Hall,
“or
do
any
such
things
whatsoever,
you
got
to
tell
me
one
or
two
things
I
don't
understand,
and
what
nobody
don't
understand,
and
what
everybody
is
very
anxious
to
understand.
I
want
to
know
what
you
been
doing
t'my
chair
upstairs,
and
I
want
to
know
how
'tis
your
room
was
empty,
and
how
you
got
in
again.
Them
as
5
stops
in
this
house
comes
in
by
the
doors—that's
the
rule
of
the
house,
and
that
you
didn't
do,
and
what
I
want
to
know
is
how
you
did
come
in.
And
I
want
to
know—"
Suddenly
the
stranger
raised
his
gloved
hands
clenched,
stamped
his
foot,
and
said,
"Stop!"
with
such
extraordinary
violence
that
he
silenced
her
instantly.
"You
don't
understand,"
he
said,
"who
I
am
or
what
I
am.
I'll
show
you.
By
Heaven!
I'll
show
10
you."
Then
he
put
his
open
palm
over
his
face
and
withdrew
it.
The
centre
of
his
face
became
a
black
cavity.
"Here,"
he
said.
He
stepped
forward
and
handed
Mrs.
Hall
something
which
she,
staring
at
his
metamorphosed
face,
accepted
automatically.
Then,
when
she
saw
what
it
was,
she
screamed
loudly,
dropped
it,
and
staggered
back.
The
nose—it
was
the
stranger's
nose!
pink
and
shining—rolled
on
the
floor.
15
Then
he
removed
his
spectacles,
and
everyone
in
the
bar
gasped.
He
took
off
his
hat,
and
with
a
violent
gesture
tore
at
his
whiskers
and
bandages.
For
a
moment
they
resisted
him.
A
flash
of
horrible
anticipation
passed
through
the
bar.
"Oh,
my
Gard!"
said
some
one.
Then
off
they
came.
It
was
worse
than
anything.
Mrs.
Hall,
standing
open-‐mouthed
and
horror-‐struck,
shrieked
at
what
she
saw,
and
made
for
the
door
of
the
house.
Everyone
began
to
move.
They
were
20
prepared
for
scars,
disfigurements,
tangible
horrors,
but
nothing!
The
bandages
and
false
hair
flew
across
the
passage
into
the
bar,
making
a
hobbledehoy
jump
to
avoid
them.
Everyone
tumbled
on
everyone
else
down
the
steps.
For
the
man
who
stood
there
shouting
some
incoherent
explanation,
was
a
solid
gesticulating
figure
up
to
the
coat-‐collar
of
him,
and
then—
nothingness,
no
visible
thing
at
all!
25
People
down
the
village
heard
shouts
and
shrieks,
and
looking
up
the
street
saw
the
"Coach
and
Horses"
violently
firing
out
its
humanity.
They
saw
Mrs.
Hall
fall
down
and
Mr.
Teddy
Henfrey
jump
to
avoid
tumbling
over
her,
and
then
they
heard
the
frightful
screams
of
Millie,
who,
emerging
suddenly
from
the
kitchen
at
the
noise
of
the
tumult,
had
come
upon
the
headless
stranger
from
behind.
These
increased
suddenly.
30
Forthwith
everyone
all
down
the
street,
the
sweetstuff
seller,
cocoanut
shy
proprietor
and
his
assistant,
the
swing
man,
little
boys
and
girls,
rustic
dandies,
smocked
elders
and
aproned
gipsies—began
running
towards
the
inn,
and
in
a
miraculously
short
space
of
time
a
crowd
of
perhaps
forty
people,
and
rapidly
increasing,
swayed
and
hooted
and
inquired
and
exclaimed
and
suggested,
in
front
of
Mrs.
Hall's
establishment.
Everyone
seemed
eager
to
talk
at
once,
and
35
the
result
was
Babel.
A
small
group
supported
Mrs.
Hall,
who
was
picked
up
in
a
state
of
collapse.
There
was
a
conference,
and
the
incredible
evidence
of
a
vociferous
eye-‐witness.
"O
Bogey!"
"What's
he
been
doin',
then?"
"Ain't
hurt
the
girl,
'as
'e?"
"Run
at
en
with
a
knife,
I
believe."
"No
'ed,
I
tell
ye.
I
don't
mean
no
manner
of
speaking.
I
mean
marn
'ithout
a
'ed!"
"Narnsense!
'tis
some
conjuring
trick."
"Fetched
off
'is
wrapping,
'e
did—"
40
In
its
struggles
to
see
in
through
the
open
door,
the
crowd
formed
itself
into
a
straggling
wedge,
with
the
more
adventurous
apex
nearest
the
inn.
"He
stood
for
a
moment,
I
heerd
the
gal
scream,
and
he
turned.
I
saw
her
skirts
whisk,
and
he
went
after
her.
Didn't
take
ten
seconds.
Back
he
comes
with
a
knife
in
uz
hand
and
a
loaf;
stood
just
as
if
he
was
staring.

45
There
was
a
disturbance
behind,
and
the
speaker
stopped
to
step
aside
for
a
little
procession
that
was
marching
very
resolutely
towards
the
house;
first
Mr.
Hall,
very
red
and
determined,
then
Mr.
Bobby
Jaffers,
the
village
constable,
and
then
the
wary
Mr.
Wadgers.
They
had
come
now
armed
with
a
warrant.
People
shouted
conflicting
information
of
the
recent
circumstances.
"'Ed
or
no
'ed,"
said
Jaffers,
50
"I
got
to
'rest
en,
and
'rest
en
I
will."
Mr.
Hall
marched
up
the
steps,
marched
straight
to
the
door
of
the
parlour
and
flung
it
open.
"Constable,"
he
said,
"do
your
duty."
Jaffers
marched
in.
Hall
next,
Wadgers
last.
They
saw
in
the
dim
light
the
headless
figure
facing
them,
with
a
gnawed
crust
of
bread
in
one
gloved
hand
and
a
chunk
of
cheese
in
the
other.
"What the devil's this?" came in a tone of angry expostulation from above the collar of the figure.
"You're
a
damned
rum
customer,
mister,"
said
Mr.
Jaffers.
"But
'ed
or
no
'ed,
the
warrant
says
'body,'
and
duty's
duty—"
60
Abruptly
he
whipped
down
the
bread
and
cheese,
and
Mr.
Hall
just
grasped
the
knife
on
the
table
in
time
to
save
it.
Off
came
the
stranger's
left
glove
and
was
slapped
in
Jaffers'
face.
In
another
moment
Jaffers,
cutting
short
some
statement
concerning
a
warrant,
had
gripped
him
by
the
handless
wrist
and
caught
his
invisible
throat.
He
got
a
sounding
kick
on
the
shin
that
made
him
shout,
but
he
kept
his
grip.
Hall
sent
the
knife
sliding
along
the
table
to
Wadgers,
who
65
acted
as
goal-‐keeper
for
the
offensive,
so
to
speak,
and
then
stepped
forward
as
Jaffers
and
the
stranger
swayed
and
staggered
towards
him,
clutching
and
hitting
in.
A
chair
stood
in
the
way,
and
went
aside
with
a
crash
as
they
came
down
together.
Mr.
Hall,
endeavouring
to
act
on
instructions,
received
a
sounding
kick
in
the
ribs
that
disposed
70
of
him
for
a
moment,
and
Mr.
Wadgers,
seeing
the
decapitated
stranger
had
rolled
over
and
got
the
upper
side
of
Jaffers,
retreated
towards
the
door,
knife
in
hand,
and
so
collided
with
Mr.
Huxter
and
the
Sidderbridge
carter
coming
to
the
rescue
of
law
and
order.
At
the
same
moment
down
came
three
or
four
bottles
from
the
chiffonnier
and
shot
a
web
of
pungency
into
the
air
of
the
room.
75
"I'll
surrender,"
cried
the
stranger,
though
he
had
Jaffers
down,
and
in
another
moment
he
stood
up
panting,
a
strange
figure,
headless
and
handless—for
he
had
pulled
off
his
right
glove
now
as
well
as
his
left.
"It's
no
good,"
he
said,
as
if
sobbing
for
breath.
