Select the correct text in the passage. which two parts of this excerpt from the time machine by h. g. wells suggest that the time traveller told a captivating tale? "i can't argue to-night. i don't mind telling you the story, but i can't argue. i will," he went on, "tell you the story of what has happened to me, if you like, but you must refrain from interruptions. i want to tell it. badly. most of it will sound like lying. so be it! it's true—every word of it, all the same. i was in my laboratory at four o'clock, and since then … i've lived eight days … such days as no human being ever lived before! i'm nearly worn out, but i shan't sleep till i've told this thing over to you. then i shall go to bed. but no interruptions! is it agreed? " "agreed," said the editor, and the rest of us echoed "agreed." and with that the time traveller began his story as i have set it forth. he sat back in his chair at first, and spoke like a weary man. afterwards he got more animated. in writing it down i feel with only too much keenness the inadequacy of pen and ink—and, above all, my own inadequacy—to express its quality. you read, i will suppose, attentively enough; but you cannot see the speaker's white, sincere face in the bright circle of the little lamp, nor hear the intonation of his voice. you cannot know how his expression followed the turns of his story! most of us hearers were in shadow, for the candles in the smoking-room had not been lighted, and only the face of the journalist and the legs of the silent man from the knees downward were illuminated. at first we glanced now and again at each other. after a time we ceased to do that, and looked only at the time traveller's face.
