Book Free Demo The explanation of the mystery was really simple enough. The bewildered boys had been following a scientist who had just discovered how to make the human body transparent.
Griffin, the scientist, had carried out experiment after experiment to prove that the human body could become invisible. Finally he swallowed certain rare drugs and his body became as transparent as a sheet of glass — though it also remained as solid as glass.

Explanation:
The narrator then says that the explanation of the mystery was quite simple and clear. It means that he was trying to let his readers know what was happening over there and whom the boys were following. The narrator then tells that the bewildered boys followed a scientist. He mentions them as "bewildered boys" because they were confused about the happenings. They were perplexed, and at the same time, they were eager to know about the invisible footprints. The narrator then says that the footprints belonged to a scientist who had discovered how to make the human body transparent or invisible.
The narrator then introduced the scientist Griffin to his readers. The scientist had worked for a long time and tested many experiments to see how to make the human body invisible. To know whether his discovery would become successful, he consumed certain rare drugs one day. As a result of consuming the rare drugs, the scientist became invisible as he expected. He became transparent like a sheet of glass. In addition, he says that the scientist seemed to be as solid as glass. It means that he had a definite shape and size but was invisible to others.
