The next Thursday I went to Richmond again.Four or Five men already gathered except The Time traveller. He wasn't there.
We wondered The Time Traveller wasn't.There was some discussion the dinner table about the time Traveller's absence and
I suggested time Travelling,in a harf-joking.
After a while he came back.he looked very strange.His coat was dusty and dirty, his hair untidy.His face was very pale and
his chin had a cut on it.For a moment he stopped at the door;the light semmed too strong for his eyes.Then he came into the
room.He walked slowly,with a bad limp.
He came to the table and moved a hand the towards the wine. The editor filled a glass and pushed it towards him.
The Time Traveller said "Don't let me worry you.I'm all right."He stopped,held out his glass for more and drank it down.
His eye grew brighter,and a faint colour came to his face.So he said "I'm going to wash and dress,and then I'll come down and
explain things."He put down his glass and walked towards the door to the stairs.
So the dinner started again.Conversation was slow  fow a minute or two because we were so surprised.
After a while,The Time Traveller came back."Well."said the editor,laughing,"these men say you have been travelling into the
middle of next week.""I want something to eat first.I won't say a word until I get some food into my stomach.Thanks."
The Time Traveller said "I have been time Travelling."
