The next chapter of The Time Machine starts with the Time Traveller beginning his story in front of the dinner guest. He tells the guest about the condition of the machine and the uncomfortable conditions of time traveling and a vivid descriction of the world he saw.

When he finished his decent in the future he was in the mist of a hailstorm and saw a large statue of a sphinx. Among the things he saw were robed figures, when one of the creatures approached him reminded him of a man suffering from tubecurlosis.
He examines the new world and sees that there's no distiction of gender or age amost them. The buildings surruonding the Time Traveller are large and very intricate and strike him with fear. The chapters continue on with the Time Traveller's story.
