[Gutenberg 52351] • Square and Compasses; Or, Building the House

Excerpt from Square and Compasses, or Building the House

These additions to the acting force of the story are made, not merely for the sake of the incidents and ad ventures to which their appearance gives rise, but for the contrast between well-behaved mechanics and ill behaved gentlemen, and between boys well-trained and those not trained at all, as in the example of the Top overs.
