In Chapter 13 of The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells, Mr. Marvel is seen walking through the twilight with three books and a bundle wrapped in a blue table-cloth. He is accompanied by a voice that threatens to kill him if he tries to escape again. The voice is angry that Mr. Marvel let the secret of his invisibility be known and is worried about being caught. Mr. Marvel is in despair and his pace slows down as he contemplates his situation.
