dangling from the handles, to the enthusiastic clapping and calling of the small
crowd.

тАЬAnd there you have it,тАЭ Franklin said, bowing just a bit.

Roger Smalls raised his hands. тАЬA flying box, very well. But there have been
flying engines for nigh on ten years now.тАЭ

тАЬAh, but not like this one,тАЭ Franklin said. тАЬThose globes on which the tsar hefts
his ships are shells тАШprisoning aethereal spiritsтАФmalakim. Every machine to

creatures. We all know the malakim plot against us-тАФI for one will not trust

You can bring their ships crashing down as you float on up past тАЩem.тАЭ

тАЬThe depneumifier needs testing,тАЭ Franklin cautioned. тАЬBut, yes, we can at
least build flying machines. IтАЩve got a good start on one, as a matter of fact.тАЭ
