00:00Music
00:43At first, I pushed the lever forward ever so slightly.
00:48And the laboratory grew faintly around me.
01:08I stopped.
01:14No change.
01:17Everything exactly as it had been before.
01:20But no, the clock said 6.31 when I started, and now it was 8.09.
01:26And the candle, shorter by inches.
01:32And yet by my watch, which was in the machine with me, only a few seconds had passed.
01:56It was disconcerting to see the sun arc in less than a minute.
02:03To see a snail race by, my flowers flinging wide their petals to embrace the new day.
02:10And the hours speeding across the face of my sundial.
02:14And the flowers close their eyes for the night.
02:17It was wonderful.
02:19Changes that normally took hours occurring in seconds.
02:27It was wonderful.
02:27Dear Mrs. Watchit.
02:30Always able to tell me what tie to wear, but never able to decide to wear anything more stylish than
02:35the type of clothes she's worn all these years.
02:38And as yet I was traveling very slowly.
02:42What if I went faster?
03:11It became intoxicated.
03:15So I pushed the lever on toward even greater speed.
03:27As I went along, I gained experience in handling the machine.
03:31I found that I could stop for a day, an hour, or even for a second to observe.
03:39Then go ahead a year or two.
03:42Thus I was able to see the changing world in a series of glimpses.
03:50Good heavens.
03:52Is that a dress?
03:56This was intriguing.
03:59I wonder just how far women would allow this to go.
04:21I began to grow very fond of that mannequin.
04:25Maybe because, like me, she didn't age.
04:41Thirteen years have passed.
04:44Fourteen.
04:45Fifteen.
04:47Sixteen.
04:50And then suddenly the light was gone.
04:52What had happened?
04:54In the year of 1917, I stopped.
04:58I started back.
05:07What?
05:27She's been подумating it.
05:28Here we go.
