In the book the time machine How does wells create a sense of suspense in chapter two?

One way-out tactic that Wells employed in Time Machine ( and not in other novels) was making the lead character anonymous calling him only the time traveler. This creates credibility problems from day one ( no pun intended) The character is obviously human and not Divine so it is not a superhuman God-like being, where that sort of thing might make sense. ( constant use of the Proper adjective- He, He, He) gets both religious-like and tedious. It is hard to get involved with a character if you don"t even know his name. True- this is often done with expendable characters in some folk tales ( Little Match Girl, e.g), but that is different.
