Chapter 10

In this chapter, the Time Traveller finally arrives at the hill he was on when he first came to the future. He really thinks about the Under-world and Upper-world, and concludes that the Elois in the Upper-world lived an easy life. They had no fears-except when it got dark. He concluded that the Morlocks did not always feast on Elois, but over time it became necessary when they started to run out of food. As he headed back to the White Sphinx, he was wonderfully surprised to find his time machine, looking polished and clean. As he fumbled in the dark for the levers to put into the machine, suddenly the Morlocks began grabbing and attacking him. Fighting blindly, he got the machine in order and then he was off: back into his own time.
