First Post

I'm just beginning the novel The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells. Already within the first chapter I'm beginning to see that it was a good choice to choose this novel. At this point in the book, a stranger has arrived at the railway station. He's covered from head to food with only the tip of his nose showing. He gets a hotel room and the innkeeper thinks he's been in some horrid accident. I'm sitting here reading this and the only thing that's going through my head is "man, there's more than meets the eye here. It's not just some simple accident. Something isn't right." This is shown strongest by the part of the novel where on page 4, when the inn keeper asks if she can take the man's coat, he responds, "I prefer to keep them on." and then turns his face from here. My main question in this piece of the text is what will happen with the innkeeper. She seems suspicious.
