Context
“A younger student than you were, almost an albino, six feet high, and broad, with a pink and white face and red eyes, who won the medal for chemistry."
"I am confused," said Kemp. "My brain is rioting. What has this to do with Griffin?"
"I am Griffin."
Kemp thought. "It's horrible," he said. "But what devilry must happen to make a man invisible?"
"It's no devilry. It's a process, sane and intelligible enough—"
"It's horrible!" said Kemp. "How on earth—?"
"It's horrible enough. But I'm wounded and in pain, and tired ... Great God! Kemp, you are a man.”
