Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Good. Please see any and all photos connected with this listing. A bit scuffed but all pages intact and legible. Good reading copy. Clean. Store Stamped. --- --- The central protagonists are boyhood chums Clive Mortimer (a Squire's son) and Freddy Oxley (offspring of a local workman). Clive's family disapproves of the friendship, of course--especially when young Freddy's mechanical skill and insatiable curiosity produce an explosion that splits aparts the Squire's prized marble stairs. But the boys remain pals as teenagers: Clive brings his Eton cronies down to see the latest wonder--a flying machine!--that Freddy (now a metal-works apprentice) has concocted. And both lads inevitably wind up loving the same girl: beautiful upstairs maid Ann Howard, who helps Freddy with his machinery but gets pregnant by Clive. . .(Kirkus Review). . .
