Mr. Bunting was the vicar of Iping. He and Dr. Cuss were close friends. When stupefied and dazed by his strange meeting with Griffin, Dr. Cuss went straight to the vicar's house and narrated the entire incident in which he had seen the stranger's empty sleeve, and his nose nipped by invisible finger and thumb; Bunting laughed hearing it. He believed Cuss was telling him a weird story.
He was a brave and courageous man. When the invisible man burgled his house in the small hours of Whit Monday, he tried his best to catch the burglar. But the strange phenomenon of being robed by an invisible burglar was beyond his comprehension.
When he had his face-to-face encounter with Griffin in a room at Coach and Horses, as the latter came there to reclaim his diaries, we come to know about two very commonplace qualities of his character that did not become him. The first was his vanity. We come to know that he pretended to know Greek; but the reality is he didn't know it. The second was his fear and panic. When he grasped the truth of Griffin's invisibility, he was very much scared and nervous. He wanted to run as far as he could. Griffin had Dr Cuss and Bunting's clothes removed as he needed them to cover himself. The moment Butning got the slightest opportunity, he ran away as fast as he could across the village, covering himself in a hearth-rug
