The Steps to Nowhere

by Grace Duffie Boylan
Patty and Traddy Lee, the children of a captain in the Army Corps of Engineers who is suddenly sent to work on the Panama Canal, are unintentionally left on their own for a few weeks during which they run into a clock that runs backward and takes them to 17th century New York, Captain Kidd, parts unknown in Central America, and a kind of Neverland called the Land of the Vanished People,
— Michael Main
“Where you doin?” he asked, quite as though he had been accustomed to meeting old clocks on the stairs.

“I’m bound for yes-ter-day,” the clock replied. “Want to go to yes-ter-day?”
