Chased by the Invisible Man, Marvel came down the hill running for his life. He was mortally afraid of the Invisible Man and to escape his fury he blindly ran into the inn the “Jolly Cricketers”. He shrieked, screamed and cried for help. His incoherent talk and his terror – sticken face drew all the people in the inn to help him. The American, the policemen, and the cabman got together to close the doors quickly and stop the Invisible Man from entering the place. The barman accommodated Marvel behind the bar counter. In the mean time, the Invisible Man was heard pounding at the door. They all assured him that since the doors were closed, there was no need for him to be afraid. Desperate to save himself, Marvel repeatedly requested everyone present in the inn not to open the door. He looked around to hide in some safer quarters. Seeing Marvels pitiable condition he was sent into the bar- parlour and the door was locked on him. After providing a relatively safe hiding place to Marvel, all the other men prepared to encounter the Invisible Man. Thus, everyone in the inn stood by Marvel and gave him full protection.
