John Henry Overholt is an inventor. His first invention was considered
very successful, and John Henry is now working an a new idea, an
"air-motor". Quite a bit a money has already been invested, with the
'air-motor" no where near completion. John Henry is running out of
money, time and hope. Mrs. Overholt had taken a job as a governess and
is with that family in Germany. Their 13-year-old son, Newton, lives
with his father and they are stayng in a run-down house in Connecticut.
The title of the story refers to a model of the town that Newton is
building. "It was entirely made of bits of cardboard, chips of wood, the
sides of match-boxes, and odds and ends of all sorts..." Or maybe the
title could signify the Overholt family and their little circle of
support and love. A wonderful story full of perseverance and sacrifice.
