If we're talking about ethos, pathos, or logos, the answer is ethos
The answers are the following:
"For once, at least, I grasped the mental operations of the Morlocks. Suppressing a strong inclination to laugh, I stepped through the bronze frame and up to the Time Machine;"
" I was surprised to find it had been carefully oiled and cleaned. I have suspected since that the Morlocks had even partially taken it to pieces while trying in their dim way to grasp its purpose "
The main idea is basically that anyone, no matter what they're believed to have done, deserves to be considered by a non-biased group of citizens.
