The Clockwork Man
- by E. V. Odle
- (William Heinemann, 1923)
A peculiar man with mechanical mannerisms appears at a cricket match spouting nonsense and later causing headaches throughout the village until Dr. Allingham finally talks to him and discovers that the origin of the man with clockwork devices implanted in his head is some 8000 years in the future.
“Perhaps I ought to explain,” he continued. “You see, I’m a clockwork man.”
