‘Master time,’ said Violet Wond, ‘and a man might be master of all.’

She and Ernest Rutherford were also being propelled by electrical energy aboard the New Electric Railway that ran from Victoria Station to Crystal Palace. The two sat in a first-class carriage, air-cooled and pleasing, watching the world through the plate-glass windows, speaking of this and that.

‘A Master of Time,’ said Ernest Rutherford, thoughtfully. ‘It does sound rather like something from a novel by Mr Wells.’

‘Would you not enjoy being masterful?’ Miss Wond’s voice took on a certain tone. It was a tone that Mr Rutherford found confusing. This woman’s talk was full of innuendo, yet there was something about her which said do not touch — and so forcibly, too, at times that it put a certain fear into Mr Ernest Rutherford. But there was something about her that fascinated Mr Rutherford, intrigued him, tantalised him. Mr Rutherford had, over the past year, been falling utterly in love with Violet Wond.

‘What might a man do,’ asked the smitten chemist, ‘if he was a Master of Time?’

‘He could right wrongs!’ said Miss Wond. ‘He could travel back into the past and put right things that had been made wrong.

‘Dear lady.’ Mr Rutherford gazed at the woman in black, gazed towards the heavy veil that smothered her face and hid what lay beneath from a world that would know only fear if it was revealed. ‘If I could, sweet lady, I would,’ said Ernest Rutherford.

‘We shall see what we shall see,’ said Violet Wond.
