The Time Machinethe little mechanism which we had seen vanish frombefore our eyes. Parts were of nickel, parts of ivory, partshad certainly been filed or sawn out of rock crystal. Thething was generally complete, but the twisted crystallinebars lay unfinished upon the bench beside some sheets ofdrawings, and I took one up for a better look at it. Quartzit seemed to be.‘Look here,’ said the Medical Man, ‘are you perfectlyserious? Or is this a trick—like that ghost you showed uslast Christmas?’‘Upon that machine,’ said the Time Traveller, holdingthe lamp aloft, ‘I intend to explore time. Is that plain?

The fact is, the Time Traveller was one ofthose men who are too clever to be believed: you neverfelt that you saw all round him; you always suspectedsome subtle reserve, some ingenuity in ambush, behind hislucid frankness. Had Filby shown the model and explainedthe matter in the Time Traveller’s words, we should haveshown HIM far less scepticism. For we should haveperceived his motives; a pork butcher could understandFilby. But the Time Traveller had more than a touch ofwhim among his elements, and we distrusted him. Thingsthat would have made the frame of a less clever manseemed tricks in his hands. It is a mistake to do things tooeasily. The serious people who took him seriously neverfelt quite sure of his deportment; they were somehowaware that trusting their reputations for judgment withhim was like furnishing a nursery with egg-shell china. SoI don’t think any of us said very much about timetravelling in the interval between that Thursday and thenext, though its odd potentialities ran, no doubt, in mostof our minds: its plausibility, that is, its practical17 of 148
