Question

describe the incident that takes place in Dr kemp's house in Invisble man

Answer 1

DOCTORKEMPhad continued writing in his study until the shots aroused him. Crack, crack, crack, they came one after the other.1“Hello!” said Doctor Kemp, putting his pen into his mouth again and listening. “Who’s letting off revolvers in Burdock? What are the asses at now?”2He went to the south window, threw it up, and leaning out stared down on the network of windows, beaded gas-lamps and shops with black interstices of roof and yard that made up the town at night. “Looks like a crowd down the hill,” he said, “by the Cricketers,” and remained watching. Thence his eyes wandered over the town to far away where the ships’ lights shone, and the pier glowed, a little illuminated pavilion like a gem of yellow light. The moon in its first quarter hung over the western hill, and the stars were clear and almost tropically bright.3After five minutes, during which his mind had travelled into a remote speculation of social conditions of the future, and lost itself at last overthe time dimension, Doctor Kemp roused himself with a sigh, pulled down the window again, and returned to his writing-desk.4It must have been about an hour after this that the front-door bell rang. He had been writing slackly and with intervals of abstraction, since theshots. He sat listening. He heard the servant answer the door, and waited for her feet on the staircase, but she did not come. “Wonder what that was,” said Doctor Kemp.5He tried to resume his work, failed, got up, went downstairs from his study to the landing, rang, and called over the balustrade to the housemaid as she appeared in the hall below. “Was that a letter?” he asked.6“Only a runaway ring, sir,” she answered.7“I’m restless to-night,” he said to himself. He went back to his study, and this time attacked his work resolutely. In a little while he was hard at work again, and the only sounds in the room werethe ticking of the clock and the subdued shrillness of his quill, hurrying in the very centre of the circle of light his lamp-shade threw on his table.
