The next day someone from the group returns. The time Traveller tells him to wait. When he wants to tell to the Time Traveller he has to go, the Time Traveller and his Machine have gone.



Opinion

The writer wants us to think of the situation he lived in. He disapproves of the aristocracy. One time he refers to the East-end workers, who live their lives under the ground.



It was nice because it had a different view on the future. Generally speaking the technology and science have increased and the world is a better place, but in this story it is different.
