The Invisible Man

The Invisible Man - Ch 1

Which two quotations indicate that the stranger wishes to be left alone?

a) "He stamped, shook the snow from off himself in the bar, and followed Mrs. Hall into her guest parlour to strike his bargain. With that much introduction and a couple of coins flung upon the table, he took up his quarters in the inn." (Par 1)

b) "His gloved hands were clasped behind him, and he seemed to be lost in thought." (Par 2)

c) "He made no answer, and had turned his face away from her again. Mrs. Hall, feeling that her attempts at conversation were ill-timed, set the rest of the table quickly and whisked out of the room." (Par 7)

d) "'Thank you,' he said at the same time, and did not stir until she was closing the door. Then he swung around and approached the table with a certain eager quickness." (Par 8)

e) "She knocked and entered promptly. As she did so, her visitor moved quickly, so that she got only a glimpse of a white object, disappearing behind the table." (Par 10)
