On a misty morning in Victorian Britain, Sir Topham Twig tightened his riding gloves and mounted his trusty horse, Chester. In his pocket, he held an ornate brass key — the only way to unlock the grand door of his historic home nestled deep in the woods. But between him and his warm hearth lay a confusing tangle of forest paths, twisting hedgerows, and hidden gates. Could he find his way before the gaslamps flickered on for the evening?
As he trotted under arching oak trees and passed wrought iron railings, Sir Topham pondered the latest invention of the age — the steam engine! He’d just returned from a visit to a nearby railway station, newly opened thanks to the marvels of Victorian engineering. The clatter of trains and the scent of coal smoke still lingered in his mind.
"Imagine!" he thought, "Soon I may not need Chester at all to reach the city."
But for now, Chester was his guide, and the forest was full of secrets.
Along the way, Sir Topham passed a curious tin toy lying in the undergrowth — perhaps dropped by a child on their way to school. He picked it up carefully, brushing off the moss. “They don’t make them like this anymore,” he murmured, tucking it into his saddlebag.
