The peculiar thing about the woman the Time Traveller saw in the beginning of this time travel is that she shot across the room "like a rocket."
In the novel "The Time Machine," the Time Traveller begins his journey through time using a machine he has invented. When he starts the machine, he sees a woman, Mrs. Watchett, come into the room and walk across it. She does not seem to notice him.
However, from the Time Traveller's perspective, the woman seems to shoot across the room "like a rocket." That is because everything around him seems to speed up as the machine takes him through time.
With the information above in mind, we can select option C as the correct answer. The woman shot across the room "like a rocket."
