The invisible man
h. g. wells

1 so it was that on the twenty-ninth day of february, at the beginning of the thaw, this singular person fell out of infinity into iping village. next day his luggage arrived through the slush—and very remarkable luggage it was. there were a couple of trunks indeed, such as a rational man might need, but in addition there were a box of books—big, fat books, of which some were just in an incomprehensible handwriting—and a dozen or more crates, boxes, and cases, containing objects packed in straw, as it seemed to hall, tugging with a casual curiosity at the straw—glass bottles. the stranger, muffled in hat, coat, gloves, and wrapper, came out impatiently to meet fearenside's cart, while hall was having a word or so of gossip preparatory to being them in. out he came, not noticing fearenside's dog, who was sniffing in a dilettante spirit at hall's legs. "come along with those boxes," he said. "i've been waiting long enough."

2 and he came down the steps towards the tail of the cart as if to lay hands on the smaller crate.

3 no sooner had fearenside's dog caught sight of him, however, than it began to bristle and growl savagely, and when he rushed down the steps it gave an undecided hop, and then sprang straight at his hand. "whup! " cried hall, jumping back, for he was no hero with dogs, and fearenside howled, "lie down! " and snatched his whip.

4 they saw the dog's teeth had slipped the hand, heard a kick, saw the dog execute a flanking jump and get home on the stranger's leg, and heard the rip of his trousering. then the finer end of fearenside's whip reached his property, and the dog, yelping with dismay, retreated under the wheels of the waggon. it was all the business of a swift half-minute. no one spoke, everyone shouted. the stranger glanced swiftly at his torn glove and at his leg, made as if he would stoop to the latter, then turned and rushed swiftly up the steps into the inn. they heard him go headlong across the passage and up the uncarpeted stairs to his bedroom.

5 "you brute, you! " said fearenside, climbing off the waggon with his whip in his hand, while the dog watched him through the wheel. "come here," said fearenside—"you'd better."

6 hall had stood gaping. "he wuz bit," said hall. "i'd better go and see to en," and he trotted after the stranger. he met mrs. hall in the passage. "carrier's darg," he said "bit en."

7 he went straight upstairs, and the stranger's door being ajar, he pushed it open and was entering without any ceremony, being of a naturally sympathetic turn of mind.

8 the blind was down and the room dim. he caught a glimpse of a most singular thing, what seemed a handless arm waving towards him, and a face of three huge indeterminate spots on white, very like the face of a pale pansy. then he was struck violently in the chest, hurled back, and the door slammed in his face and locked. it was so rapid that it gave him no time to observe. a waving of indecipherable shapes, a blow, and a concussion. there he stood on the dark little landing, wondering what it might be that he had seen.

9 a couple of minutes after, he rejoined the little group that had formed outside the "coach and horses." there was fearenside telling about it all over again for the second time; there was mrs. hall saying his dog didn't have no business to bite her guests; there was huxter, the general dealer from over the road, interrogative; and sandy wadgers from the forge, judicial; besides women and children, all of them saying fatuities: "wouldn't let en bite me, i knows"; "'tasn't right have such dargs"; "whad 'e bite 'n for, than? " and so forth.

Check my grammar: dear mr. peter szulczewskisubject: loyal customer’s complainti visited wish.com last month and found a 2-terabyte hard drive for only $69.99, an alive aquarium piranha fish for $7.99 and an unlocked samsung galaxy s9 phone for $599.99. the price of such quality item got me to buy all three of them thinking it is exactly what the description and pictures shows it be.the items arrived today and i am for giving me an actual samsung galaxy s9 for a low price but i got lied about the two other items, i know it doesn't always happen but we are losing our trust everytime it happens. i got 500gb hard drive and a plastic sardine fish. i thought i saved money but a 500-gigabyte hard drive should only be worth $40 and i am ok that they gave me a plastic fish because it is only $8 but they gave me a sardine plastic fish which is a very uninteresting species of fish and i have no use for it. you again for the phone. i like buying in your website and admire the prices you give to your items. i will not ask for a refund for the fish and hard drive but you should tell your sellers to use a truthful descriptions of their products because if they keep deceiving us, you might lose a lot of loyal customers.sincerely,russell john javierloyal customer
