Chapter 11 reveals what happened inside the Coach and Horses Inn while Marvel stood smoking a pipe outside. The Invisible Man enters his room to gather his belongings but is surprised to discover Mr. Cuss and Mr. Bunting inside, poring over his diaries (but unable to decipher the Greek script). He shocks them, grabbing their necks from behind and demanding cooperation lest he kill them both with the fire poker.

From outside the room, Mr. Hall and Mr. Henfrey hear the strange sounds of the Invisible Man and his captives. They ask if everything is all right, and Mr. Bunting squeaks out a yes and tells them not to interrupt. Mr. Hall thinks it odd, but his wife is upset with him for not working at the bar on such a busy day. Just as she begins scolding him, they hear the parlor window open and, shortly after, see Marvel running through the street with a parcel. Mr. Cuss and Mr. Bunting emerge from the room and shout for everyone to stop the thief, for he has stolen their clothes. A humorous chase ensues, wherein men pursue Marvel and the Invisible Man preemptively topples them. Soon there is a scuffle as someone hits the Invisible Man, throwing him into a rage.
