Mr. Bobby Jeffers, the village constable, was a brave man. Discuss in light of the episode when he arrived at the “coach and horses” ton arrest the stranger.

Mr. Bobby Jeffers, the village constable, came to the “Coach and Horses” to arrest the stranger for the burglary committed at the vicarage. He had been directed to do so by shuckleforth, the magistrate, who in turn been requested by Hall. However, by the time Jeffers reached the inn. The place was in a state of utter chaos as the stranger had revealed his real self by tearing away his nose, and removing the wrappings that hid his face.

Jaffers was a dutiful and conscientious man. When other got a shock to find the stranger headless, he declared bravely that ‘head or no head’ the stranger would be arrested. When the stranger shouted at him and slapped him with his invisible hand, jaffers was the least bit intimidated. He courageously caught the culprit’s handless wrist and grabbed his invisible throat. He held his target so strongly that in spite of being kicked in the shin, he didn’t loosen his grip. Finally, the stranger promised to surrender at which the constable got prepared to handcuff him. But the latter had clever plans and he insisted on being spared of this embarrassment. The constable was a bold man, but was gullible as well. So, when the stranger promised to surrender and requested not to handcuff him, he believed the criminal.

Taking advantage of this situation the stranger managed to divert everybody’s attention and took off his clothes. He was now invisible and thus he tried to escape. More futile efforts were made by everybody to overpower him. However, it was again Jeffers who managed to catch hold of the Invisible Man. He stuck to his post till the end and fought his headless opponent in a very courageous manner. But ultimately, the stranger got the better of him and pushed him down on the gravel. He escaped leaving behind everyone utterly confused and helpless. Therefore, in spite of his brief appearance, Boddy Jaffers manages to leave behind his unfading image in the minds of the readers.
