I drew a breath, set my teeth, gripped the starting lever with
both hands, and went off with a thud. The laboratory got
hazy and went dark. Mrs. Watchett came in and walked,
apparently without seeing me, towards the garden door. I
suppose it took her a minute or so to traverse the place, but
to me she seemed to shoot across the room like a rocket. I
pressed the lever over to its extreme position. The night
came like the turning out of a lamp, and in another moment
came tomorrow. The laboratory grew faint and hazy, then
fainter and ever fainter. Tomorrow night came black, then
day again, night again, day again, faster and faster still. An
eddying murmur filled my ears, and a strange, dumb
confusedness descended on my mind. “I am afraid I cannot
convey the peculiar sensations of time travelling. They are
excessively unpleasant. There is a feeling exactly like that
one has upon a switchback—of a helpless headlong
motion! I felt the same horrible anticipation, too, of an
imminent smash. As I put on pace, night followed day like
the flapping of a black wing. The dim suggestion of the
laboratory seemed presently to fall away from me, and I
saw the sun hopping swiftly across the sky, leaping it every
minute, and every minute marking a day.
