SUMMARY OF CHAPTER 21: IN OXFORD STREET
Griffin’s Extraordinary Advantage
Griffin was having a hard time adjusting with his newly acquired power. Even his walk was clumsy. He was filled with great joy though and his mind was busy in the things he could do without being seen. Suddenly, he was hit from behind. The man carrying the basket was greatly surprised and this made Griffin laugh. He swung the basket into the air.
Griffin Realised the Disadvantages
A cabman rushed to catch the basket and his hands met Griffin’s neck. Griffin was hurt and the crowd rushed to the scene. Griffin was in the danger of being discovered. So, he ran away from the place.
On the street, his feet got stamped, his shoulder got bruised and most of all, he was stark naked and thus caught a cold.
Griffin grew Helpless
Griffin’s initial happiness had flown away and he thought how he was going to get out of the mess he was in. He was feeling so helpless that he nearly cried. Then a dog traced him. Griffin realised that the dog could smell him. Griffin was again in danger of being discovered and ran away.
Footprints Without Feet
A procession was coming his way and Griffin thought that he would not be able to go through them. Moreover, he did not want to get away from his house.
He ran up the white steps of a house without being realising that he was of leaving footprints behind. Two little children noticed the imprints. The fear of being caught paralysed Griffin, but somehow he was able to give them a slip.
Kemp appeared to be Nervous
Griffin was narrating his first outing as an Invisible man and what a disaster it had been! He was hurt, bruised and had caught a cold also. On his way home, he collided with”any people and left them in utter shock.
Upon reaching his street, Griffin realised that he had burned the house down. Only his three books and a cheque book remained which he had put at the post-office. Kemp was nervously looking outside and asked him to continue.
