Mr. Thomas Marvel was a tramp with slovenly appearance. He has a peculiar nose and ad shabby bristled. He had short limbs with a bent figure. He wore and untidy, conspicuously high, furry silk hat. He looked like a typical unkempt bachelor. He sat by the roadside in an inebriated (drunken) state, oblivious of what all had gone on in Iping. With his feet in a ditch. He was unhappy with the two pairs of shoes that he had got in charity. When a voice intervened in his evaluation of shoes, he wasn’t startled because he was too drunk to realize that he was being talked to by thin air. It was quite a few sentences later that he turned to seed the person who had joined him in this analysis. Initially, his lack of imagination didn’t let him believe in the existence of an invisible being. However, when he was hit with stones by the Invisible Man, he got quite intrigued and wanted to know the secret of invisibility. He thought this unique trait could help him a lot in meeting his modest wants in life. All the same, he felt uncomfortable with the idea of being used as a tool by the Invisible Man. But the poor man was no match to the power of the Invisible Man and had no choice but to agree to assist him.
