Steve and the Steam Engine

Steve and the Steam Engine is a Fiction Story Book. The book tells that Steve Tolman had done a wrong thing and he knew it. While his father, mother, and sister Doris had been absent in New York for a week end visit and Havens, the chauffeur, was ill at the hospital, the boy had taken the big six cylinder car from the garage without anybody's permission and carried a crowd of his friends to Torrington to a football game. And that was not the worst of it, either. At the foot of the long hill leading into the village the mighty leviathan so unceremoniously borrowed had come to a halt, refusing to move another inch, and Stephen now sat helplessly in it, awaiting the aid his comrades had promised to send back from the town. What an ignominious climax to what had promised to be a royal holiday! Steve scowled with chagrin and disappointment.
