This story is an indirect satire on the so-called best sellers which leave a very adverse effect on the minds of the readers. A best seller is a book that is among those having the largest sales during a given.period. Usually, these best sellers are novels or works of fiction which satisfy the taste of the general reading public. Often, they are romances and love stories and the reader begins to identify himself or herself with the central character. In this story also, we are told of such a reader. The writer once meets an old acquaintance on a train. This acquaintance has just finished reading a best seller. While talking to the writer, this person starts telling the writer the story of his own romance with a girl. Clearly, the story he tells is just a figment of imagination and has been designed on the pattern of the plot in the novel the man has just finished reading. He gives a long-trailed description of how he had fallen in love with a girl during one of his train journeys. She was a very beautiful girl and belonged to a family of very high social status. He followed the girl from one place to the other till at last she agreed to marry him.
