His world has beenone of champagne breakfasts and fancy-dress balls at great country houses. Now, as a volunteer train driver during England's General Strike, he has a series of adventures that bring him face to face with the unfamiliar world of the slums, the dynamic agitator Kate, all the new ideas she represents--and mor danger than he coul ever have imagined.
