Excerpt from The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
`But now you begin to see the object
of my investigations into the geometry of Four Dimensions. Long ago I had a
vague inkling of a machine|'
`To travel through Time!' exclaimed the Very Young Man.
`That shall travel indifferently in any direction of Space and Time, as the
driver determines.'
Filby contented himself with laughter.
`But I have experimental verification,' said the Time Traveller.
The machine in the novel "The Time Machine" is a vehicle that takes its rider to travel through time. The rider may choose forward backward options in time along with the control to slow down or accelerate the travel.
The leading character of the novel, Time Traveller, is an English inventor who invents the machine and introduces it to his dinner guests. He explains to them that time is simply a fourth dimension as much like the other three dimensions of space to which a common man is familiar. In the excerpt cited above, he is involved in dialogue with the guests explaining them the machine.
