H.G.wells is absolutely justified in calling Mrs. Hall’s guest’ A strange man’ in the first chapter. The things that made him strange included his appearance which was far from that of a normal person. his big blue spectacles with sidelights, head swathed in bandages and his thick black hair peeing from there made him peculiar .shiny pink nose stood out as a prominent feature of his otherwise nondescript fac. His body from behind a language too, was unusual for he spoke from behind a table napkin. He smoked a pipe with the lower part of his jaw securely wrapped with a silk muffler. All this definitely made him strange and abnormal. His insistence on not allowing Mrs. Hall to take away his wet coat and hat for drying also made his behaviour questionable. In addition, his disinclination to get also to get into any sort of conservation with his inn-keeper also lent an air of eccentricity of his personality. His curt and concise remarks to cut short Mrs. Hall’s narration of the story about her sister’s son’s accident sounded equally strange. Hence, H.G.Wells has appropriately termed Mrs. Hall’s guest as’ A strange man’.
