Respuesta :

According to the excerpt I was able the found the correct answer would be "But I am beginning now to fear that I must wait a lifetime". The narrator states that he waited because he wanted to hear even a stranger story than the last one but he also later states the fears he will wait all his life for as it had been three years since the time traveler left.

Answer :

[ But I am beginning now to FEAR that I must wait a lifetime ]

FEAR

[ feeling indicated by perceived danger or threat that occurs in certain types of organisms, which causes a change in metabolic and organ functions and ultimately a change in behavior, such as fleeing, hiding, or freezing from perceived traumatic events ]

I felt an unreasonable amazement. I knew that something strange had happened, and for the moment could not distinguish what the strange thing might be. As I stood staring, the door into the garden opened, and the man-servant appeared.

We looked at each other. Then ideas began to come. "Has Mr. —— gone out that way? " said I.

"No, sir. No one has come out this way. I was expecting to find him here."

At that I understood. At the risk of disappointing Richardson I stayed on, waiting for the Time Traveller; waiting for the second, perhaps still stranger story, and the specimens and photographs he would bring with him. [ But I am beginning now to fear that I must wait a lifetime ] The Time Traveller vanished three years ago. And, as everybody knows now, he has never returned.
