The answer is A. The narrator is invited to dinner in remembrance of an event that occurred some time ago in which the Time Traveler announced he created a time machine. The Time Traveler then arrives, ragged and dirty. After cleaning himself up and eating he recounts his story those who were invited including the narrator. I hope this helps!<span />

Based on my point of view I would think of it as Kevin showing his compassion for his father, or trying to show a link for family care.
And no, I don't think it has anything to do with Kevin being a little thief. XD Unless that's what the story portrays.
