However, he is suddenly dropped through the bridge and experiences intense pain. Just as he thinks he is about to die, he hears a noise and everything goes black.
Mr. Marvel, tired and nervous, sits outside an inn in Port Stowe with the books tied beside him. An elderly mariner strikes up a conversation with him, noticing the contrast between Mr. Marvel's appearance and the suggestion of opulence from the sound of coins in his pocket. They discuss books and the mariner mentions the extraordinary things they contain.
In this chapter, Marvel rushes into the 'Jolly Cricketers' inn, seeking refuge from the Invisible Man who is after him. The barman and other patrons try to calm him down and figure out what is happening. The chapter ends with a hurried rapping and shouting outside the inn.

In this chapter, Kemp and the Invisible Man discuss their plans and the importance of retrieving the Invisible Man's books. The Invisible Man reveals his new plan to head south and escape to Spain or Algiers.

They must retrieve the books without the tramp knowing they are for the Invisible Man.
In this chapter, the Invisible Man discusses the disadvantages of his condition, including the inability to find shelter or clothing without becoming visible.

In this chapter, Mr. and Mrs. Hall go down to the cellar for a private matter, but Mrs. Hall realizes she forgot something and sends Mr. Hall upstairs to retrieve it. He notices that the stranger's door is ajar and the front door is unlocked, which he connects to the suggestions of Mr. Teddy Henfrey. He enters the stranger's room to find it empty, with the guest's garments and bandages scattered about. Meanwhile, Mrs. Hall impatiently calls for her husband from the cellar.
In this chapter, the stranger remains hidden in the little parlour of the 'Coach and Horses' until midday, with no one daring to approach him. The villagers become increasingly curious about him, especially on the festive occasion of Whit Monday. Meanwhile, news of a burglary at the vicarage spreads, and Hall seeks advice from the magistrate. The stranger's activities during this time remain unknown.
