Sucent
Excerpt from The Invisible Man
HG Wells
The stranger came early in February, one wintry day, through a biting wind and a driving snow, the last snowfall of the year, over
the down, walking from Bramblehurst railway station, and carrying a little black portmanteau in his thickly gloved hand. He was
wrapped up from head to foot, and the brim of his soft felt hat hid every inch of his face but the shiny tip of his nose; the snow
had piled itself against his shoulders and chest, and added a white crest to the burden he carried. He staggered into the "Coach
and Horses' more dead than alive, and flung his portmanteau down. "A fire," he cried, 'in the name of human charity! A room
and a firel' He stamped and shook the snow from off himself in the bar, and followed Mrs. Hall into her guest parlour to strike
his bargain. And with that much introduction, that and a couple of sovereigns flung upon the table, he took up his quarters in
the inn
