The narrator expected the Time Machine to finish on Friday. Was he able to meet his expectation? What had happened on Friday?
No, the narrator was not able to meet his expectation of finishing the Time Machine on Friday. On that day, he discovered that one of the nickel bars necessary for its completion was one inch short. As a result, he had to remake the bar, which caused a delay in the completion of the Time Machine. The Time Machine was finally complete and ready for use until the following Monday morning.

Unlock now 🔓About the Author - Time Travelling | New Images Next (Enrichment Reader) | Class 7 Literature | English
H.G. Wells was a British author who wrote some of the most popular science fiction stories of the late 19th and early 20th century. Born in 1866 in the UK, Wells was the son of a domestic gardener before becoming a prolific writer and social commentator. He is best known for his novels The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds. These and other stories often explored topics such as science fiction, imperialism, and social class divisions. His work had a significant influence on science fiction writers and readers, as well as on popular culture more broadly. Wells also wrote a number of non-fiction works on topics such as history, politics, and social reform. Despite its immense popularity, Wells's work was often met with both critical and popular skepticism. In his later years, Wells continued to write and publish works until his death in 1946.
