all that. I can remember it very well.

Yes, it isn't a thing a mere nine

years can make you forget, is it?

You recall, of course,

how he went insane...

and never regained visibility

till after he was dead,

and how he was finally

killed by the police.

Shot down like a mad dog after

hundreds had lost their lives.

A most-hideous crime.

But, of course, Doctor,

you would never

make a man invisible...

with the danger

of him going mad,

unless you had a means of

bringing him back in time.

Surely, in all

those nine years,

you've found a method

of avoiding insanity...

or perhaps even

restoring visibility.

I was never interested

in my brother's activities.

Oh, I'm sorry, Doctor. I had

hoped that you might cooperate.

You must realize that

if the monster murders,

the scientist hangs.

Have a cigar?

No, thanks. I don't smoke. Try it.

In smoke or rain...

he becomes visible.

Cover this place.

I'll send some men out.

I tell you, Miss, you're the first

visitor to this cottage in nigh on a year.

Exceptin' Dr. Griffin, comin'

to look at my gouty old foot.

- When do you expect the patient?

- He'll be here very soon, Ben.

Ah, there's naught I won't be glad

to do for a patient of Dr. Griffin.

Aye, and I'll be glad

to have a body to talk to.

He's had a very

serious accident, Ben.

He needs rest and no

unnecessary conversation.

Oh, depend on me, Miss.

Old Ben never talks

except when it's wanted.

And I think he'd rather

that no one knew he was here.

That's old Towser. I

wonder what's come over him.

Getting old and talkative,

seems like.

What's the matter, you

old fool? Be quiet now.

Helen, darling.

Come inside quickly,

darling.

Will you stop!

It's not Buckingham Palace,

darling.

You're wrong.

It is.

At least it's comfortable

and safe.

How does it feel to have

a phantom fianc?

You're the best phantom

I happen to know.

I can touch you.

Oh, you poor boy.

I don't know what to say.

I'm lucky.

I can see you.

After all, I'm not much

to look at anyway.

Even when I...

Even when this...

It doesn't make any difference,

dear. We're together.

Soon it'll be as it always was.

All this is just a dream.

Now come.

Sit down and rest.

I'll get some tea.

You must be famished.

Oh, no, thanks just the same, darling,

but I don't want anything to eat.

Just sit down

and talk to me.

It's all right.

You must have thought

I'd never get here.

It was kind of awful

waiting,

wondering if something

had happened to you.

I couldn't find the spot where Frank

had hidden the bag with the clothes.

You can't imagine how cold

I was until I found them.

You know, I'm beginning to understand why

ghosts moan so in this sort of weather.
