She looked up unexpectantly, composing her face into a pleasant smile for her latest customer. The woman, still shaken from her sighting of Kate earlier, was sitting at a small table and drinking gin from a pewter mug. The Tar Man dragged Kate backwards into the fortune-teller’s tent. “The Tar Man retrieved his throbbing hand and pulled both of Kate’s arms behind her back.
Little wonder, he thought, that the Tar Man, his errant henchman, had become so attached to this age of wonders.”A third instance of the mood is: What a transformation this new millennium had worked on him. “Faith! He could even have his own coat of arms tattooed on his shoulder! How deliciously unseemly! Lord Luxon looked around him, still smiling. “Lord Luxon eyed him with such distaste and thought of his cedar wood chests in 1763, specially imported from Italy, and the layers of exquisite silks they contained…Although the current fashion for body piercing, tattoos, and hair dyes in the wildest of colors was tempting ─ indeed, it might be amusing to have his navel pierced and a ruby, or perhaps a diamond or two inserted.”Another instance of the mood is: Curious like an odd mood.One instance of this mood is: I think the mood of my story is… curious/dangerous. He is on the run from his previous shady life-and the ruthless Tar Man is after him, determined to bring him back into the past he wants to forget. With Gideon’s help, Kate and Peter might be able to find the machine again.but first they must survive being plunged into the 18th century, with all its funny smells, strange foods, and, most alarmingly, it’s terrible highwaymen.Kate and Peter slowly overcome the shock, although they want to return to their century badly. Fortunately, Gideon comes to help the young travelers after the Tar Man stole all their interesting 21st century items. Before Kate and Peter realize what has happened to them, the Tar Man made off with the device-taking with him their only way home.
Someone else sees it too-a villain nicknamed the Tar Man. Gideon Seymour, cutpurse and gentleman, who had troubled childhood, watches with awe as the two children and the odd machine appear out of nowhere. Somehow they activate it, and travel back in time to 1763. A visit to Kate’s father’s lab ended with them falling into the clutches of a so called anti-gravity machine. Peter and Kate two ordinary kids from England meet by chance, not knowing that an incredible adventure awaits them.
