1. Griffin had worked (had been working) at the problem of invisibility for no more than two years when he hit upon a solution. 2. At first Mrs. Hall doubted. whether she should let the stranger in. But he said he would pay ki advance and

it settled the matter. 3. The stranger must have decided to settle in Ipinp, because the next day he asked for his luggage to be sent to him at the inn. 4. The stranger must have been out of touch with all his friends (had not kept in touch with his friends) as he never received any letters. 5.

She was always annoyed when somebody asked her about her newcomer's name and occupation. "I'll bet he is a criminal who is hiding from the police," said Teddy Henfrey, the watchmaker. "If I were you I would get in touch with the police." - "It's none of your business," Mrs. Hall cut him short. "I won't have anybody saying bad things (speaking badly) about my lodger." But Teddy Henfrey stuck to his opinion. 8. A few weeks later Mrs. Hall wished she had not let him into her inn. "We'll have to put up with him as long as he pays his bills," Mr. Hall said. "We can't afford to ignore su:h a rich visitor (guest)." Mrs. Hall wished she could ask him to move to another inn, but she had no courage to do so. 9. Legran settled on the island soon after he retired. I never lost touch with him and from time to time visited him on the island. I always received a hearty welcome.

Mr. Saintsbury held out a few pages to Charlie and said, "Here's the part of Sammy. It is the most important part in the play."

To Charlie's great relief, Mr. Saintsbury said, "Go home and learn the part by heart, word for word." "I'll bet that boy will bring fame to our theatre!" Mr. Saintsbury exclaimed when Charlie left them. Charlie told his brother in detail what had happened to him at the theatrical agency. 11.
