    BEST SELLER

    One day in Summers when the writer was travelling to Pittsburgh by train, he met an old
    acquaintance by the name of John A. Pescud. They were meeting each other after two years.
    John was a travelling agent for a plate – glass company. He believed that the plate – glass was
    the most important thing in the world. Also, the Company was the best in the world. He had
    been reading the bestseller novel – ‘The Rose lady and Trevelyan’. He tells the writer the story of
    it. There is an American executive who is fashionable like a hero and he falls in love with a
    European princess. Pescud believed that such stories were unrealistic

    because in real life a boy marries a girl of similar social status who is locally placed. Then John
    tells him that professionally, he is doing extremely well. The company has given him a raise
    twice, stocks in the company and that he has even invested in real estate. As to his personal life,
    John tells the incident where he met his wife. He was travelling to Cincinnati when he came
    across a pretty girl. He wished to marry her and so started following her. His chase finally
    landed him in Virginia. She was accompanied by an old man upto a huge mansion. John could
    not believe that the destination of this mediocre looking girl was such a lavish, huge mansion
    which looked like the Capitol located in Washington. At the village, he came to know that she
    was the daughter of Colonel Allyn, the biggest and finest man in Virginia. John met her and after
    talking to her came to know that her name was Jessie and that her father was the royal
    descendant of a famous British family. Jessie tells John that she was aware that he had been
    following her all along and that her father would feed him to the
    hounds if he dared to talk to him about his proposal. John was determined and the next day
    reached the mansion to meet the Colonel. He was surprised to see the worn out interiors and
    old furniture. The Colonel arrived in style although his clothes were shabby. They chatted and
    shared funny stories. John was accepted by them and it had been a year since they got married.
    John had built a house in the East end and the Colonel also lived with them. The train reaches
    John’s destination Coketown which is a dull and scary place. The writer inquires about his
    purpose of visit and John tells him that he is going to get Petunias for Jessie. He invites the
    writer over to his place. As the train moves, the writer eyes the bestseller and smiles that John
    A. Pescud’s own story was nothing short of a ‘BestSeller’.
