Excerpt: ""Quite right for once, Moke. Young brothers are unmitigated nuisances, " declared Hugh Holcombe. "If I hadn’t been such a silly owl to let my young brother try his luck with my motor-bike, I wouldn’t be sitting here in this muggy carriage. Any sign of Slogger yet?" The youth addressed as Moke thrust his bulky head and shoulders out of the open window and made a deliberate survey of the road that ran steadily down the hillside until it merged into the station yard of the little town of Lynbury. It was a case of somewhat regrettable inadvertence when fifteen years previously Sylvester’s parents had had him christened in the name of Anthony Alexander; for when, in due course, the lad entered Claverdon College the fellows, the moment they saw his initials painted boldly upon his trunk and tuck-box, dubbed him "Moke, " and the name stuck like tar."
