When I was a child, I read "The Time Machine." However, that was quite some time ago, and my memory of the incident is not as clear as I would like. As such, I am hoping the good people of the book forum will be able to aid me.

I seem to recall a chapter (or two) in which the Time Traveller journeys to a future in which time machines have been banned, and he is either subsequently arrested or detained in some capacity. However, upon skimming the novel recently, I cannot seem to find anything that would indicate this event ever taking place.

I know there were some sequels to the novel (both authorized and unauthorized), and am wondering if perhaps my memory is coming from one of them. Or, perhaps, I am recalling this incident from another medium entirely, and compositing it into the novel.

Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

In spite of having read some novels by Jeter and Baxter, I don't think I've read their Time Machine sequels/spin-offs/reimaginings.

Others may recall having read from the titles at the following links and thus be able to address the OP's question:
